Maria Joranko
Blush Response
2025
Etched steel

Blush Response is a pair of custom laser-cut, etched steel glasses by Maria Jaranko, designed to fully obstruct vision. Drawing from Blade Runner and Vangelis’s score, the title references the Voight-Kampff test, where a “blush response” signals humanity through involuntary emotion. Jaranko’s glasses invert this logic, denying perception and placing the wearer in a state where the boundary between human and machine becomes uncertain.
