We decided to stem away from lights as a means of communication. We felt that we weren't interested enough in that idea to move forward so we moved on with the idea of sensors through fashion, which led us to all this fun stuff below.
Clothes and Fashion are a means of personal expression. It is a part of everyone's lives whether considered or not and whether as a means of comfort or not. Directly related to art, specifically 2D, textiles are expressive patterns represented through clothing. This pattern can directly reflect rituals and the repeated quotidian of one wearing clothes daily. As a concept with the use of sensors: through the ritual of putting on socks, as one places a sock on their foot, the temperature of the foot would create a color or pattern which is changed through temperature. This reflects the individuality of a person as well as the idea of fashion in terms of comfort and expression.
• A personal idea of fashion: fashion to us is a means of individuality, comfort (warmth), expression, intimacy
• Person puts on the sock (think of what kind of sock)
• Sock includes temperature sensors and grid of LEDs, which temperature directly impacts the brightness and blinking
• Socks as a symbol of warmth, comfort, variety, intimacy
• Temperature of the person's foot affects the grid of LEDS, each person's pattern is unique
• Thinking of a way to save the pattern for each person
• Each pattern can then get put together to create a bigger pattern
• idea of recycling a sock, recycling a trend
