Ahead of the BRIT Awards on 11 May 2021, Mastercard and CuteCircuit introduced limited-edition face masks that responded to music and environmental sound with light.

Announced on 7 May, the collaboration brought the studio’s luminous wearable technology into an everyday accessory. The masks changed their illumination in real time, connecting the wearer’s appearance to the sound around them.

Designed by Francesca Rosella and Ryan Genz.
