kinetic garments

WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 11th 2013

look what i found... Ying Gao's sound activated kinetic garments.  these creations fill me with questions: why would one  _need_ sound activated kinetic garments?

the project was built around the idea of uncertainty.  both garments are activated by the spectator's voice.  through the motion of the pins, the garments engage the spectator on a conversational level, which is filled with misunderstanding(s) and uncertainty.

oh, well then; why would anyone _want_ to engage in a conversation that was purposefully filled with misunderstanding and uncertainty?!...because it makes you feel the way the videos (below) make you feel.

*excuse me miss DON'T MOVE - i think there is something alive on your dress thing...

this girl

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 5th 2013

this girl knows where it's at.  see what her face is doing there? the subtext her body position conveys? the subtle je ne c'est quoi her sweatpants emit? i feel that way about the world & the people in it approximately fifty percent of the time i breath -- the remaining time is spent in the fetal position with waves of anxiety and inadequacy lapping at my feet...this of course doesn't account for sleeping and drug/alcohol use.
