New Blood Entry — Ink Brothers Amnesty
Award: Wood Pencil
Amnesty International / 2016
All over the world, indigenous tribes disappear along with their unique cultures, due to greed and exploitation. Ink Brothers Amnesty is a campaign intended to raise both awareness and funds in order to fight this injustice. In most tribal communities, tattoos are a way of welcoming new members. To make people part of this cultural heritage, they will be able to be remotely tattooed by tribe members through motion capturing tablets and simple robotic arms. This way, an incredibly personal bond is created and the tribes’ unique culture lives on under the skin of the supporters.
