Maker Faire Bay Area 2024
Futuristic Eyewear
Home: California, United States
Drawing inspiration from Cyrus Kabiru's "C-Stunners" project, we will host a hands-on art activity that invites participants to imagine and craft their own futuristic eyewear designs. In line with Kabiru's use of repurposed materials, this interactive session encourages both creativity and sustainability, providing participants with an opportunity to explore new possibilities for self-expression while rethinking waste and everyday objects. By using alternative materials, participants will bring their unique visions of the future to life, creating innovative and artistic eyewear that reflects their personal style and values.

What Inspired You to Make This?
Our inspiration is to envision the future through the lens of art, drawing on the innovative approach seen in Cyrus Kabiru's 'C-Stunners' project. Like Kabiru, who creatively reuses discarded materials to craft futuristic eyewear, we aim to combine art and sustainability in our work. By repurposing waste and found objects, we hope to challenge perceptions of both the environment and the future, blending aesthetics with eco-consciousness. This intersection of art and sustainability will drive our creative exploration, allowing us to reimagine the world with a focus on both beauty and responsibility.
