4 LED, wires, switches and batteries are sewed on the dress.
By doing this I wanted to trigger light from the Led with particular body movements. In the dark, light from the dress is detected by the light sensors and the data are send to the computer where they are processed and give a dynamic animated text which size, position and content is related to the intensity of the light.
For the exhibition I didn’t have enough time to investigate thoroughly the installation and issues occurred related to the number of sensors and LED needed for the sensors to detect a wide range of light.
People would use a wearable bracelet with a led to browse through the projected text that was taken from the dance dictionary of Valerie Preston-Dunlop, quotes from choreographers.
