"Flush" is an interactive sculpture that attempts to display the flesh of a head, unfolded and exposing all angles. The flesh becomes embarrassed in the presence of a viewer. The output is a physical sculpture, created from a computer-generated map. The map is a projection onto the physical sculpture, revealing the technology behind the flesh, only visible as the viewer moves.
