Art + Technology

Anouk Wipprect- Spider Dress

“If the person wearing the design is approached aggressively, than the limbs assume the attack position, but when approached in a calm manner, the limbs create smooth gestures and ease the closeness.” https://www.arch2o.com/the-spider-dress-anouk-wipprecht/

I think the artist wanted to make a statement about body language and how it can make us feel, and how we react differently from it. It is also a tangible expression of boundaries.

Technology: Proximity Sensors

N. Shrivastava, R. Mudumbai U. Madhow, and S. Suri. 2006. Target tracking with binary proximity sensors: fundamental limits, minimal descriptions, and algorithms. In Proceedings of the 4th international conference on Embedded networked sensor systems (SenSys ’06). Association for Computing Machinery, New York, NY, USA, 251–264. DOI:https://doi.org/10.1145/1182807.1182833

proximity sensors are integral for reactive technology, and they are good for making work that responds to an audience.
