Their eyes and hands offload and upload data for upgrades, information exchange as well as sense checking. The Pale Baby Androids represent a new life form in its cellular stages. Their skin textures vary from wet and translucent to powdery and matte, with colour gradations mimicking mushrooms or lichen. Therefore the colours are blanched, textures are filmy, cellophane-like, slimy even, inspired by pearlescent spores, bacteria, bubbles, eggs, petri dishes, and fungi as the very primary life form. </span></p><p><br></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">The baby android manufactures saliva which mutates and has psychotropic or fertilizing qualities and if taken in excess can be toxic. Underpinning this is the idea of duplication, twins, the multiplying of cells, as well as creatures feeding off of each other. Inspired by Vore fetish, this tribe sees life, death, and rebirth as part of the same thing.</span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Find out more about your tribe </span><a href="https://www.dazeddigital.com/beauty/beauty-space/article/48286/1/future-beauty-tribe-subculture-trend-forecast-100-years-human-cyborg-technology" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">here</a><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">.</span></p></p></section><section><h3><h2><strong></strong><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">PRIVACY HACK</span></h2></h3><p><p><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Hyper surveillance has taken over and governments have acquired unprecedented power to track and rank citizens based on our digital footprint. Our value as citizens is now intricately linked with our data. </span></p><p><br></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">As omniviolence terrorism increases, the Privacy Hack tribe becomes the symbol of the resistance, fighting for humanity’s freedom and Artificial Intelligence exclusively used for the greater good of the people and the planet. A movement of facial recognition hackers, the Privacy Hack tribe has subverted all of the traditionally known data-tracking tools to create a beauty standard where our faces are adorned with data designed and garbled to confuse others, and only understood by a few. Their masks act as algorithmic signal scramblers and make members unrecognisable, equipped with a shape-shifting face filter, distorted layers of glitches and images. </span></p><p><br></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Freedom is being reclaimed by “virtually hacking” faces with code, illegible messages, fragments of faces. They are rebels hunted down by governments, living off the grid. Their ranks are joined by the LGBTQ+ community that have fought so hard for claiming their freedom to choose, the right to fluidity and a free identity.</span></p><p><br></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Find out more about your tribe </span><a href="https://www.dazeddigital.com/beauty/beauty-space/article/48286/1/future-beauty-tribe-subculture-trend-forecast-100-years-human-cyborg-technology" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">here</a><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">.</span></p></p></section><section><h3><h2><strong></strong><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">BAROQUE DYSTOPIAN</span></h2></h3><p><p><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Inspired by a feudal structure of society </span><a href="https://www.dazeddigital.com/beauty/head/article/41435/1/part-one-future-beauty-trends-humans-look-like-100-years" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">chronicled</a><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"> in the Aristocratic Decade (2038-2048), the Baroque Dystopians seek to escape from the anxieties of climate change and offset them with the exuberance of radical hope. They tap into the 1700s French Aristocracy and the Baroque era for hairstyle inspiration. In times of socio-political instability beauty trends reflect a need to escape and indulge. </span></p><p><br></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">The Baroque Dystopians thrive in raves and underground social spaces. They are street wanderers with unsurpassed exuberance, adorned with eccentric hair braiding, exaggerated bouffant volumes decorated with pearls and golden roping, brightly hued and boldly curled hair, dental braces and face jewellery worn as their crown.</span></p><p><br></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">They use found jewels and stones, metal wires, industrial metal scraps reworked and moulded into vine shapes and alluring face gear. They represent the dichotomies between classes and blend the superior airs of royalty with the edge of life on the streets. This tribe also harnesses cross-cultural style references, inspired by the opulence of Middle Eastern clothing and jewellery. They navigate cultures and races, with a DNA so mixed it is unclassified, only known as the world’s new diaspora tribe, untethered to anything but their community, their street savviness and exuberant self-expression.</span></p><p><br></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><span class="ql-cursor"></span>Find out more about your tribe </span><a href="https://www.dazeddigital.com/beauty/beauty-space/article/48286/1/future-beauty-tribe-subculture-trend-forecast-100-years-human-cyborg-technology" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">here</a><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">.</span></p></p></section><section><h3><h2><strong></strong><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">FACE RECYCLERS</span></h2></h3><p><p><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">We have reached technological singularity. The integrated circuit has reached endless processing power and us humans can’t keep up. Nonetheless, we see opportunities in renewing our identities by applying the same principles of recycling and the circular economy to the principles of owning the legal rights your face, a need that emerged in the 2010s due to the rise of deep fakes.</span></p><p><br></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">The concept of face recycling gains momentum as people agree to swap faces. They can opt to do this in the digital realm or in real life through transplants and plastic surgery. In the digital realm, a popular filter is inspired by surrealist collages, juxtapositions of different faces. Another trend for face swapping and recycling uses simple solid colour overlays. These hues connect to personal data and can change shades with changing moods, biometrics, or even weather patterns. And for extra cash, our augmented skin includes advertising for the next e-sports world championship.</span></p><p><br></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">For those who cannot afford a new face IRL or a fancy augmented filter, the growing practice of using recycled materials to mask your face or adorn it with found objects creates a surprising space for what is considered new precious jewellery. Adornments are created from yesterday’s relics: microchips, concert ticket stubs, an old barcode, even an old kitchen utensil, wonderful memories now used to proclaim and celebrate our post-consumer history.</span></p><p><br></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Find out more about your tribe </span><a href="https://www.dazeddigital.com/beauty/beauty-space/article/48286/1/future-beauty-tribe-subculture-trend-forecast-100-years-human-cyborg-technology" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">here</a><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">.</span></p></p></section><section><h3><h2><strong></strong><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">SUPER NATURALS </span></h2></h3><p><p><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Humans have evolved into elongated fairy-like creatures both ethereal and lethal. 90 years earlier a small group of biotech companies and scientists had developed age-reversing technologies. And the end of the second millennium allowed us to reconnect with our primordial animal instincts of hunting and feeding on only what we need, as we ran short of natural resources and needed to create new ways of getting our nutrients.</span></p><p><br></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">At the beginning of the 2100s, scientists and bioengineers developed skin cells able to harvest essential vitamins and if lucky, flowers. This has enabled us to become closer to nature and has given society an opportunity to reflect and long for what we once had and took for granted. Flowers lost their perfume but fortunately, scientists were able to engineer tattoos that release a floral scent. As the lines blur between the natural, virtual and the human, we use bio-sensitive smart tattoo inks that change colours and come to life through augmented reality, visually mimicking orchid petals and dragonfly wings.</span></p><p><br></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Humans have become avatars of flowers and produce nutrients to mimic pollination. From this, we have created unlikely bonds with insects that appreciate our skin’s nourishment, especially ladybugs and iridescent worms. Our bodies have been engineered to be a part of the earth’s geology, as we are now able to produce face crystals mimicking nature’s wildest patterns. The adornments are packed with nutrients, allowing us to recharge just for a night or even minutes as part of our wellness routine. With the power to design our ideal future self, we are presented with a menu: from a floral creature to a fairy, feathered eyelashes to crystallised skin, the choice is ours.</span></p><p><br></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Find out more about your tribe </span><a href="https://www.dazeddigital.com/beauty/beauty-space/article/48286/1/future-beauty-tribe-subculture-trend-forecast-100-years-human-cyborg-technology" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">here</a><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">.</span></p></p></section><section><h3><h2><strong></strong><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">DARK HEAT</span></h2></h3><p><p><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">The planet has drastically changed due to global warming. We have grown used to living in the dark due to heat reaching dangerous heights during the daytime. Pollution levels and microparticles in the air have darkened the light. Besides, the world is now overpopulated, and we cannot all work at the same time, therefore society works in split day or night time shifts.</span></p><p><br></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">To navigate this world, we have developed ways to see in the dark and become accustomed to heat mapping cameras and infrared vision. We glow in the dark through our tattoos, contact lenses and make-up. But much like a cheetah or a lioness, we understand the importance of camouflage, being stealth. Therefore our tattoos can move and switch to nothing, powered by swarms of nanobots running through our veins. This tribe wears soft robotic body parts as masks or nose extensions, a clever development after the invention of soft computer parts such as the octobot in the 2010s.</span></p><p><br></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Neon green prevails, with other hues inspired by tropical fish and coral accustomed to limited light in the depths of the ocean. Our perceptions evolve, natural evolution makes us reconnect with our animal instincts in a move to mimic the intelligence of wild animals with feather or fish inspired brows, pointed earpieces and increased senses such as hearing or smell. Piercings increase our spatial awareness and protrude, mimicking the spikes of hedgehogs for protection, in the form of metal insertions that help us navigate the dark and sense our surroundings. We can also opt for the less aggressive and equally alluring markings of jungle beetles. These adornments double as a symbol of status and tribal ranking, varying from solid silver to bright tropical hues.</span></p><p><br></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Find out more about your tribe </span><a href="https://www.dazeddigital.com/beauty/beauty-space/article/48286/1/future-beauty-tribe-subculture-trend-forecast-100-years-human-cyborg-technology" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">here</a><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">.</span></p></p></section><section><h2><h2><strong></strong><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">What is the biggest problem facing the planet right now?</span></h2></h2></section><section><h3><h2><strong></strong>What is your greatest wish?</h2></h3></section><section><h3><h2><strong></strong> What is your favourite movie?</h2></h3></section><section><h3><h2><strong>Where are you most drawn to?</strong></h2></h3></section><section><h3><h2><strong></strong><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Which of these do you value most?</span></h2></h3></section><section><h3><h2><strong></strong><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Your beauty regime is... </span></h2></h3></section> Escape the algorithm!
