In spite of its long history, tattoo art has not changed very significantly in terms of applying new materials and techniques. The impact of developing technologies for the conception of new modalities of organic interventions will have ramifications in unprecedented areas, allowing the use of new interactive epithelial interfaces (responsive dynamic tattoos), and creating new ways of interaction and embodied communication. In contrast to traditional tattoo art of static images, new tattoo art (NT) allows the generation of dynamic interactive images on the skin. Our purpose here is to present this new field of research and speculate on the role of the designer in the design of dynamic tattoo images, and the implications of these tattoos which transform the skin into a new source of interactive and reversible inscription.

Studien undersöker hur fysisk gestaltning i pedagogiskt drama formas under ett lärotillfälle i skolmiljö. Studien använder sig av ett socialsemiotiskt synsätt och en multimodal ansats för att undersöka eleven som utövare av fysisk gestaltning. Fysisk gestaltning betraktas som ett medium och sammanhanget analyseras utifrån ett designteoretiskt perspektiv på lärande. Två grupper elever i 10 års-åldern har filmats och observerats. Resultaten visar att påverkan från regler i skolan, instruktioner och pedagogen beskriver elevernas formella design. Influenser från elevernas värderingar av fysiska egenskaper, teman från deras vardag, från styrande elever och från det sociala samspelet beskriver elevernas informella design. Design i fysisk gestaltning uppstår i kroppsliga uttryck, i tempo, i rum och i material. Formell design, informell design och mediet fysisk gestaltning samspelar i förklaringen av hur elever ordnar sin design i fysisk gestaltning och hur semiotiska resurser används och förändras i fysisk gestaltning. / This is an examination of how embodied communication transforms during a session of drama education set in a school environment. Social semiotics and multimodality are used in order to examine the students as users of embodied communication. Embodied communication is treated as a medium and the context is analyzed through a design theoretic perspective on learning. Two groups of 10 year old students have been video recorded and observed. The results show that the students’ formal process of designing embodied communication is influenced by existing rules in school, the teacher and the instructions. The informal process of designing embodied communication is affected by social interactions among students, student leaders, the students’ bodily values and themes from their everyday life. Embodied communication, and in part the designing of it, is described as an interaction between body expressions and the use of time, space and materials. How the students designs the embodied communication and how it transforms during the examined session is explained in combining the analytical themes ”formal design”, ”informal design” and ”embodied communication”.
