fragilis – sensitive garments

Posted: February 19th, 2010 | Author: k.a. | Filed under: design example | Tags: | No Comments »

Fragilis, sensitive garments, is a prototype mini-collection of two pieces:  the heartdress which pulsates irregularly, and the veindress which glows. The two pieces react on each other through breathing, shaking, – as a way of simulating intelligence. The veindress uses electro-luminance wires for nuance light,  the heartdress has a servomotors and woven thread to create movement.

The two pieces are good examples within the category of “living entity”, one of the directions I have decided to work on. They work well “alone”, as two independent pieces, but the idea of having them sense and react on each other, expands and creates a small system of its own.
