Project by Amy Bondesson, Anna Persson and Linda Worbin

The Interactive Costumes and Wall hanging were designed in an approach to explore new enhanced forms of expressional interaction through textiles. The set of textiles is meant to exemplify how clothes and textiles become interfaces themselves, through visual and tactile interactive properties.

Scenario:
Three dancers, each wearing an interactive costume, are performing in front of the wall hanging. When a dancer makes a specific movement, she holds on to it and the wall-hanging is partly changing colour, a pattern is seen. The pattern that appears, corresponds to a printed pattern on the dancer’s garment. In this way the background adapts to the costume, and from a certain angle the dancer’s costume appears to melt into the background.
