Biostep

2018
Collaboration with Dann Disciglio

Shoes that contain bioluminescent dinoflagellate bacteria that the owner must feed and maintain to keep the shoes glowing. This piece is a response and proposed remedy for the destructive industry fast-fashion: if the consumer is forced to develop a mindful relationship with the object, they may think twice before discarding it. The bottom compartment containing the bioflagellates can be removed and replaced with a regular sole to give the organisms rest as needed.
