THE MEMBRANE

a surface that breathes

touch to disturb

Created from Electroactive polymer Electroactive polymers change shape under electric fields. Dielectric elastomers compress under Maxwell stress with strains up to 380%. A positive feedback loop — thinner membrane means higher field means more compression — leads to snap-through instability: a catastrophic, instantaneous state change.
