(Un)limited Design Contest

Short Description:

Future vision on the production of solar energy with the items you wear. Plotted at Protospace (Fablab Utrecht) Module technologies for flexible solar cells In the avant-garde looking solar cell. Since there are no more tabs on the front side, more solar radiation can be captured.
 
The ECN back-contacted cell is not only better performing and easier to assemble compared to conventional cells - it is also better looking. The design of the front-side metallization pattern is much more uniform and visually appealing than the conventional solar cells.

Context

In 50 years the Moon Life Academy and ESA expect that bigger groups could live together on the moon. To make the moon and society ready for this big step there needs to happen a lot. Like how to link humanity and kindness to protection against an absurd and technical environment?
 
The European Space Agency (ESA) and the Moon Academy collaborated, to discover new concepts for living on the moon. Therefor they asked several designers and artists to create concepts and visions about how we, as society, could and would become ‘moon habitants’. Alicia Framis of the Moon Life Academy asked Marina to join the Moon Life team to explore design concepts in the field of fashion.
