LA-based artist and self-proclaimed body architect @lucymcrae has attempted to substitute hugs for a special hugging machine she named the Compression Carpet. ⠀ For people who are lonely and craving physical intimacy, this machine is made from soft material and painted in nude tones to remind the user of the human skin. ⠀ After it was presented at the San Francisco “Festival of Impossible”, this machine got people thinking about the strange direction in which humanity is headed. ⠀ . . . ⠀ #lucymcrae #compressioncarpet #festivaloftheimpossible #hugmachine

Umetnica iz Los Anđelesa Lusi Mekre kreirala je mašinu koja grli u nadi da će u budućnosti tehnologija početi više da doprinosi mentalnoj dobrobiti ljudi. Ovim izumom htela je da ispita da li bi mehanički zagrljaj mogao da pruži utehu ljudima željnim dodira.

Mašina je ofarbana u nežne tonove ružičaste i braon boje tako da podseća na boju kože i dodatno pruži iluziju ljudskog prisustva. Mekani jastuci kojima je obložena prime telo i obgrle ga u čvrst, ali prijatan zagrljaj.

Mašina koja grli predstavljena je na “Festivalu nemogućeg” u San Francisku, izložbi čija je tema bila istraživanje odnosa između ljudi i mašina u budućnosti.

Speculative artist Lucy McRae has made another iteration of her Compression Cradle. The Compression Carpet hugs digitally overloaded people craving #intimacy & #touch. Visitors at the recent #Festival of the Impossible were able to try it out – see @dezeen https://t.co/KShCwfGwQb pic.twitter.com/E34iITmhQN

Posetioci festivala imali su priliku da isprobaju njene zagrljaje, a koliko ih je ovaj izum zaintrigirao govori i to da mu nisu odoleli čak ni oni koji pate od klaustrofobije.

As soon as you enter you'll be face to face with @lucy_mcrae's 'Compression Carpet' – it swaddles, wraps and invites you to lay down and immerse yourself. Suggested as an antidote for a future that lacks human touch. ?️#FestivalOfTheImpossible pic.twitter.com/6fpr4DM8TU

Ovo nije prvi projekat ovakve vrste koji je kreirala McRae. Prethodna kreacija je “Compression Cradle”, eksperimentalna mašina koja obgrli telo na malo drugačiji način – kompresovanjem vazduha.

Beleef de aanraking van een machine in de tentoonstelling I See That I See What You Don’t See, over de kracht van design in een wereld die constant aan staat #compressioncradle #lucymcrae In an attempt to prepare the self for a future that assumes a lack of touch, the Compression Cradle affectionately squeezes the body within a sequence of aerated volumes that holds it tightly. Summoning a shift in how we touch and observe others being touched, the cradle’s membrane reveals the silhouette of a stranger slipping between a squishy wrap, presenting an indifferent format of voyeurism.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ More information via link in bio.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Compression Cradle, @lucymcrae Production: @machinehistories Made possible with the financial support of Het Nieuwe Instituut, the Dutch Ministry of Education, Culture and Science and the Museum of Applied Arts and Sciences (Australia).⁠⠀
