Social Wearables in OCAD

As Canada's "University of the imagination", OCAD will lead in art and design education and research, contributing sifnificantly to the fields of art and design, as well as global cultural initiatives and knowledge and invention across a wide range of disciplines. Now a group of students are working in the project "Social wereables" producing works like this:

Constellations dresses by Elija Hayden Montgomery
A group of three separate dresses, that when connected with snaps, combine to create various “constellations” with LEDs.





Two Socially charged wereables by Loretta Faver:
This garment, created by XS Labs, is designed to store memories of intimate communication with others. For example, if you are wearing the garment and your significant other whispers in your ear, led lights in the garment will be activated. This intimate communication and any other communication, will be stored in the garment for future playback.



Another project by XS Labs, these dresses have an irregular pattern of spots printed on them with thermochromic inks. “Physical intimacy makes your spots blend into your skin, it erases your camouflage patterns. You become nude, revealed”.
