Testing the actuation of the polymer film. Materials and electronics: VHB polymer film, conductive graphite powder, acrylic glass, high voltage converter, variable power supply, cables.

In specific terms, there are three pieces developed in collaboration with the Eindhoven University of Technology and ESDI: “Trailblazer” (designed so that jogging fans can discover special places in different cities while they are running), “Sound Embracers” (an instrument that generates sounds with the motion of the body) and “Open Up” (a special suit that connects the wearer with their surroundings). As well as these three works, the exhibits will include pieces about digital production and sound produced in workshops, and some of the students at the centre will be working on site on their final projects, showing the processes, experimentation and developments live.

I bought a second hand camera for 15 euro and mounted the lens upside down. Here is an image of the screen of my laptop:

Open Up is a symbiotic outfit that creates an interaction between the host and it’s surrounding. It measures the displacement in a space and gives its wearer a new sense of the environment. Inspiration for this project came from studying animal behaviors and how they attract each other. 

Illuminum While wearing the Illuminum garment you are going to experiment a new way of thrilling the audience. By reacting intuitively to the light you are able to surprise the audience with an elegant and unexpected performance. A new dance philosophy can evolve based on a garment that reacts to the absence of light. 

Trailblazer Hey running enthusiast! You can’t take a holiday without getting a runner’s high do you? How about combining running with exploring amazing places? Let the Trailblazer guide you off the beaten track without getting lost.

Sound Embracers is a new instrument which links body movements directly to sound generation. The knitted collar with integrated stretch sensors and speakers is a surprising interface to create soundscapes.
