Noisy Garments
|
Where there is protest and civil disobedience, amplified sounds and homemade costumes are generally not far. In this workshop we will explore how we can embed “noise” and sound into clothing, and use body movement to broadcast our personal cause. Participants will get a crash course in crafting electronic textile sensors, noise activators and amplifiers, and work in interdisciplinary teams on wearable items. We will hack electronic and non-electronic noisy objects – ranging from children’s toys to singing greeting cards, brought by the participants – and investigate how these could be embedded into fashion items and activated by means of human mechanics. The two student pairs who amplify their wearable message most convincingly are invited to attend and show their work at the AlgoMech Festival in Sheffield/UK on 17-19 May 2019 (funding not confirmed yet). We invite students of all disciplines to participate.
