  This research presents an artistic project aiming to make cyberfiction become
reality and exemplifying a current trend in art and science collaborations.
Chroma+Phy is a speculative design for a living wearable that combines the
protoplasmic structure of the amoeboid acellular organism Physarum polycephalum
and the chromatophores of the reptile Chameleon. The underpin-ning idea is that
in a future far away or close, on planet earth or in outer space, humans will
need some tools to help them in their social life and day-to-day routine.
Chroma+Phy enhances the body aiming at humans in extreme habitats for an
aggression-free and healthy life. Our approach will address actual issues of
scientific discovery for society and catalyse idea translation through art and
design experiments at frontiers of science.
