BioMorph Devices — speculative wearables

BioMorph Devices is a series of intervened hearing aids that reimagines the relationship between technology, body and living form. Each model is born from a process of material and formal experimentation where the original structure of the device is transformed through digital fabrication strategies, particularly 3D printing, to acquire organic features, as if it were in the process of mutation. The pieces retain their sonic functionality, but their appearance introduces another dimension: they are no longer simple listening tools, but sensitive extensions of the body, speculative organisms that grow on the surface of the machine.

BioMorph Devices — speculative wearables for hybrid bodies

Conceived as a limited series, BioMorph Devices speculates on a dystopian future in which animal species combine with technological objects to proliferate. It is no longer a question of devices that assist the body, but of organisms that cohabit with it. In this hybrid territory, matter ceases to be passive and becomes an accomplice: a system that breathes, adapts and evolves together with the organism.

Each model represents a direct mutation of its predecessor, a morphological variation that responds to the conditions of its environment. With each iteration, the characteristics of the species are transformed to offer new forms of protection, resistance, and adaptation to its wearer.

The project is located on the border between the digital and the biological, between what is manufactured and what seems to grow. Their forms—soft, mutant, sentient—are inspired by natural processes of growth and morphogenesis, particularly Anamathia rissoana, a seafloor organism whose structure reveals defense strategies. BioMorph Devices thus proposes a new materiality in which the artificial acquires features of the living.
