capturing dance movements and transforming them into visual sensations through the use of new technologies
A small device attached to a ballerina’s pointe shoes tracks every move she makes, recording the pressure and movement of the dancer’s feet and send a signal to an electronic device
A special app allows the data to be shown graphically (in customisable ways)

MICROSOFT PRINTING DRESS
The Printing Dress (2011) by Astra Roseway and Sheridan Martin
Laser-cut buttons that look like old typewriter keys are sewn into the dress. A laptop, four circuit boards, and a projector
designed to project what you’re putting out on the Internet
weets become fashion statements as words flit across the skirt
step toward social accountability for your online actions. It could conceivably help reduce the flame war phenomenon that comes from people hiding behind anonymity and pare down the number of controversial tweets offhandedly tossed out by celebrities. Online words become a lot more real when you have to display them to everyone within eyesight
Robotic clothing that reacts to the chromatic spectrum
Made out of silicone, glass, PVDF, electronic devices
Inspired by neurologist Oliver Sacks’ novel., The Man who Mistook his Wife for a Hat
Like Oliver’s patient, the garments alternate between 2 states- what they are and what they can potentially become as they recognize the colours in their immediate surroundings and adapt to and mirror the rhythm of the ever-changing environment
Two robotised garments are connected to a fingerprint recognition system. However, through bypassing the notion of security, they only become animated in the presence of strangers whose fingerprints aren’t recognised by the scanner
Super organza, Cotton mesh, PVDF, Electronic devices
Robotised movements and shadow plays create a nuanced and delicate breathing effect in the dresses
The dresses react according to a facial expression recognition system and stop moving as soon as the on-looker begins to emote
This pushes the notion of a false neutrality a bit further by asking the on-looker, who is usually highly solicited, reactive and emotional, to maintain a stoic attitude and posture
Equipped with a AI facial tracking camera and an array of 200 rotating quills. The custom-made quills flip their colors and start to make patterns, in response to the movement of onlookers and their facial expressions
Explores how wearables can become not only a vehicle for self-expression, but also an extension of our sensory experience of the world
3D-printed wearable which can detect other people’s gaze and respond accordingly
Explore how clothing can behave as an artificial skin capable of changing its shape and operating as an interface with the world, reacting to external stimuli such as emotions, temperature, etc (like real skin)
A camera (can detect age, gender, and orientation of the subject’s gaze) uses image sensing technology communicates with a microcontroller which is able to actuate and control various nodes in the garment.
3D-printed wearable piece that moves and changes shape in response to the activities of the brain
Explore direct control of the movement with neural commands from the brain so that we can effectively control the environment around us through our thoughts
Helmet motion is controlled by the Eletroencephalography (EEG) of the brain. A Neurosky’s EEG chip and Mindflex headset have been modified and redesigned
Designed a computional growth process which is capable of producing a wide variety of growing structures
The generative nature of the algorithm was possible to create a wide range of wearables that adapt to the human body for pre-visualization and design iteration
Wanderers (2014)
3-D-printed bio-spacesuits that holds microbial life engineered to support humans in/interact with extreme environments to make them livable
For now, the 3D-printed shells are empty, but will soon begin new tests that pump engineered bacteria into the forms
Aims to incorporate synthetic biology into wearable product design
“new class of functional, living materials.”
“The future of wearables lies in designing augmented extensions to our own bodies, that will blur the boundary between the environment and ourselves”
Special ink (PdCl2) with color change potential across the CMYK or RGB scales. Can be painted, sprayed or dyed on fabric
Ink has chemicals whose molecules change their shape depending on a stimulus, so that they refract light differently and make us see another colour
Stimuli: changes in temperature, UV light, friction, sound, moisture, levels of carbon monoxide absrobed
Pallidium Chloride is commonly used in catalytic converters, which reduce car emissions by reacting with exhaust gases. Reversible process where palladium chloride is broken down into palladium that can be reused, while turning the carbon monoxide into carbon dioxide. Hence the clothing changes from yellow to black in relation to the pollution it absorbs
Swarovski x The Unseen (2014)
Created as a reflection of the inner workings of the human brain, stands true to Bowker’s mission of revealing the magic of the world unseen to the human eye
Headpiece made from chameolonic Swarovski stone
4000 Swarovski gems are doused in temperature-sensitive ink. These stones then serve as insulators to the energy generated and lost from the head, hence changing colour
Throughout the day as your thoughts and emotions drift in and out a beautiful display of gems will shift and change along with you.
Wearer is also equipped with an EEG (electroencephalography) headpiece, which communicates wirelessly with an app
The app then wirelessly sends the data to the garment, which changes colour in response, from monochrome grays and blacks, to subtle pastels, to vibrant rainbow hues — each of which indicates a different emotion
“Red portrays anger, nerves and anxiety, whereas green reflects teaching, sociality and people. Blue reveals calming, truthfulness and peace, while white mirrors an inner state of sensitivity, intuitiveness and psychic ability,”
Could be brought forward in the future to help treat psychological disorders such as depression, or as a measure of emotional states.

Wearable tech for “mass consumption”
– not really very scientific-approach (like health or textile exploration) or artsy (not haute couture or art pieces that would be placed in an art museum. but belong to high fashion)
– Usually more gimmicky in my opinion???
– Though there are exceptions-> ie anrealage?
