Under His Skin
Where do we draw the line with fanaticism? In a society that values self- expression, it is curious how we often find ourselves echoing the behaviors of others.
This paradox forms the core of ‘under His skin,’ a project that delves deep into the essence of football fan culture. By using AI to analyze Lionel Messi’s 442 goals scored with his left foot, the project aims to fully understand his technique and mimic it.
The collected data were used to develop four exoskeletons with four unique purposes: one allows the user to pass the ball like Messi, another enables kicking penalties like Him, a third replicates his iconic free kicks, and the last one mimics His unique dribbling ability.
under His skin questions how far we’re willing to go to metamorphose into the one we admire the most.
