Like living organisms, fashiontech

Like living organisms from Local Androids on Vimeo.

Beginning of this year Leonie (Local Androids) and I did an artist in residence in Vienna, making interactive fashion for the exhibition "Technosensual" in quartier21 (MuseumQuartier Vienna). It's an exhibition where fashion and technology meet.

About the interactive flesh garment:
It's a visualizing about when 2 people meet. The suit gets exited, stressed or perhaps in love... the veins start pumping quicker the closer you get. Like in a relationship you have to create a band to win trust. So if you dare to touch the suit, the neckpiece deflates and shows it vurnable sensual side (the neck).

Like living organisms; a breathing artificial skin garment with pulsing veins (air is pumping through the veins to simulate a pulse), the pulse increases when you approach and the neckpiece deflates on touch as sign of trust.

Peter is an amazing artist both in skill and as person, I had a great time and learned allot of him. Thanks Peter
