Collaborating artist Refik Anadol comments: "Refik Anadol Studio's collaboration with Clé de Peau Beauté is based on a unique analogy between skin intelligence and artificial intelligence from the perspective of 'making the invisible visible' – a vision that we have been pursuing since our foundation. Clé de Peau Beauté scientists study life forces that are invisible - the unseen networks of our thinking organ – skin."
