| Urban Chameleon looks at the ability of reactive garments to influence and change perceptions of one's surroundings. The Urban Chameleon is comprised of three skirts which are based along the themes of social interconnection.
"Touch" changes visual properties upon contact. "Speak" reacts to urban noise, and "Breathe" visualizes pollution and urban exhaust as it travels through the garment. Urban Chameleon is part of an ongoing body of research which looks at how environmental stimuli displayed on the body can affect urban behavior and communication. |
