## Research
During week 12, we learned on **Skins Electronics**.
To start the week, we had a lecture by [Katia Vega](https://vimeo.com/891546855/9513ee9157?share=copy).
Following this introduction, I wondered what skin means for me.
I thought it was both **a physical link** or a **general armour**, and the **first interface with sensations such as hot or cold**.
I was less interested in the notion of a graphic tattoo than in the **perception of temperature changes** here.
So I looked for references on the theme of **temperature maps, halos and gradient effects**.

I am less interested in the notion of a graphical tattoo than in the **perception of temperature changes** for now.

And thought it would be a good opportunity to try out some **thermochromic inks in silkscreen-printing** on this week.

SFXC is good for having several samples in a short time frame.

* I am also interested in these inks in an idea of beer packaging linked to my final project, as we usually wait for a certain cold temperature before drinking it.
I will test it later with my screen-printed kraft labels.

## Steps
I am practising sikscreen printing since 4 years on evening sessions in Brussels, and used the shared workshop/tools for this exploration.
We are mainly printing on paper or textile at this workshop.

## Next steps
To develop these temperature maps on skin, I can imagine combining these researchs with the applications I was looking for for [Week 08](https://class.textile-academy.org/2024/charlotte-jacob/assignments/week08/), on **Wearables**.

I was interested in the **body zones linked to stress**, and I was more interested in breathing-related symptoms.
Temperature changes also seem interesting to explore in the same way and in the same body zones.

* This [tutorial](https://www.instructables.com/Temperature-Sensor-With-Arduino-UNO/) from Instructables seems great to be combined with a black or red ink print, turning transparent respectively at 27°C and 47°C.
It could be great in an idea of **printed headband**, to measure the **body temperature**.
* If I imagine to apply the silk-screen printing on a transparent textile and to controle the displayed pattern by switching the temperature, this [tutorial](https://www.kobakant.at/DIY/?p=2909) from Kobakant seems interesting.
