Dubbed "Mushtari," the wearable is constructed from 58 meters (190 ft) of 3D-printed tubes coiled into a mass that emulates the construction of the human gastrointestinal tract. Filled with living bacteria designed to fluoresce and produce sugars or bio-fuel when exposed to light, Mushtari is a vision of a possible future where symbiotic human/microorganism relationships may help us explore other worlds in space.

Part of a range of similar wearables that make up Professor Oxman's series entitled "Wanderers: An Astrobiological Exploration," Mushtari (meaning huge in Arabic, and a reference to the planet Jupiter) has been produced using a Stratasys Objet500 Connex3 3D production system with triple-jetting to create a large fluid network whose inner channel diameters range from 1 mm to 25 mm and vary from opaque to clear. The clear sections are designed to promote photosynthesis in the cyanobacteria the wearable is designed to contain.
