Olivier Goulet

........One can view the skinbags as bodily extensions, external organs that serve as holdalls for the items we have around us. Covers for computers, cameras, pods and other digital components are multimedia second skins that convey the miniaturization and fragmentation of computers distributed on the surface of and inside our bodies, and which will end up being connected up to our brains. As it becomes neutral our skin becomes porous.......

In Olivier Goulet’s work the idea of human mutation and moulting stimulated by technological innovation relates to continuous political changes that affect the definition of borders and national identities.
