Innovative Synthesis of Bio-Melanin from Soil as the Bio-Material Substitute for Creating Body Adornments. A Lecture by Khajornsak Nakpan

Khajornsak’s widely known works is “Amplituhedron: Bio-Melanin Fibre Synthesised from Soil Bacteria to Design Innovative Zero Waste Body Adornment”. The research investigated the use of soil to create a biomaterial in Thailand. Bio-fibre was synthesised from soil bacteria, and the design process holistically considered the entire production cycle, ensuring that it left no waste. The final material contained melanin pigments similar to human skin tones, and their hues were comparable to those of the target groups in Thailand. Apart from this, it aims to maximise the value of natural resources in response to climate change based on harmonious living with nature. The study significantly contributes to the literature because it represents the forefront of biotechnology in philosophical aesthetics.
