HEARTBEAT

The heart takes center stage—this time, a physical heart, a human heart. Are the heart and emotions connected? How do we react to human contact? Come close and discover your impact on the heartbeat.

Once again, various techniques and materials merge in a literally dynamic design. Central to the process is the rethinking of traditional textile techniques, such as embroidery and beading, and exploring how they can be fused with new techniques and technology to achieve innovative results. Experimentation plays a crucial role in developing new hybrid forms where fashion, textiles, and technology overlap. Open-source models may serve as a foundation, which can then be reimagined into new projects.

​

Techniques used: molding with silicone, clay modeling, 3D printing, electronics, LED wire, embroidery, beading, costume design.

It’s the next step in a series of wearable art projects, where fashion and technology converge in an interactive wearable form.

COME CLOSE

It seems like our society is becoming increasingly distant and impersonal. We appear to avoid human contact as if we are afraid of each other, hesitant to touch and open up to others. Yet, we often find ourselves lonely amidst the crowd.

"COME CLOSE" is an interactive project aiming to bring people closer, literally, through physical contact. An invitation to touch one another and visualize how this can illuminate someone's existence.

 

It marks the first installation in a series of wearable art projects, where fashion and technology converge in an interactive wearable form.
