inspired by explorations done on body, movements and materials.
The goal of this one-week-workshop was to create a new type of garment that naturally acts together with the human body. This evolved in a poetic interaction of materials, technology and thehuman body; with movements that are evoked by a collar with integrated technology (heat activated muscle wire). The tight garment, that just fits the upper body, steers the human body in making small movements - and influences a more open or closed posture. The soft collar invites to touch. This intimate dynamic symbiosis between the human body and the garment shows different control over the body and the environment.
