Object Head Movement/subculture

-born out of a desire to have simultaneous self-expression while maintaining anonymity

-a subculture dedicated entirely to transforming the head

-opportunities to play with differing levels of transparency and face visibility

-ok these sketches suck but my wrists hurt so drawing hurts. meh

-the goal would be to possibly utilize mesh or vinyl to mimic a screen

-typical object head protocol is to not show the face. but for this one, I could utilize transparency to create a transformation rather than a replacement

-could play with the idea of wires and technology integrated with a human body (SFX to have power cord into neck?)
