Siggraph 2007 part II Jacket Antics and Animalia Chordata
Jacket Antics feature unique texts and designs scrolling through the LED array on each of the backs. Traditional black linen yarns are hand woven alongside light emitting diodes, micro controllers and sensors. When the wearers hold hands, the LED arrays presents a third, synchronous message that scrolls from one to the other, presenting a new pattern of communication. When the wearers release hands, the message reverts back to the individual themes. The capacity for interactivity in the animated cloth displays extend the narrative qualities of cloth and provide new possibilities for dynamic social interaction.
One of my other favorite pieces was actually a student work, Animalia Chordata by Gabriel Barcia-Colombo a student at NYU . It is not to technically complex or groundbreaking but it is clever and well done. It is a projection of little people in jars, the people are trapped and interacting with the walls of the jars. Nice work! |
