ABOUT

Jouvence is a diegetic project based on the speculation of how we could live forever in the future. The project is based around an app that tracks the bodies health on a cellular level allowing the user to keep track on their health and be notified when the app discovers a threat to the body. Once notified of a potential illness or disease, the user can then order an at home genetic engineering kit that will remove the threat from their body. They will also have the opportunity to request specific genes to alter their body and add life extensions to themselves.

The process of at home genetic engineering is simple and straight forward. The user is delivered a box containing the genetic liquids in vials, a syringe, as well as a sealed bag that allows the user to place their arm within and inject the genetic liquids directly into the bag. The genetic liquids are absorbed into the body through the arm. The process takes around 20 minutes, once completed the user simply washes the remaining genetic liquid off their arm and then disposes of the remaining liquid and bag into the rubbish.

Once the genes have successfully been integrated into the body, the user will then be notified through the app on their phone.
