Electric Skin

Electric skin is a wearable, responsive garment which turns the intimate breath of the wearer into pulses of light.

"The inhalation and exhalation of the wearer activates a breath sensor that dims and brightens the printed LED of the garment. The wearer is engaged in an altered state of perception, bathed in the electric aqua light."

I'm attracted to the unusual look and aesthetic of Electric skin, and especially the light pulses in a dark room. It feels as if the garment itself is alive and breathing. I can see the cross between subject and object with Electric Skin, the garment itself cannot pulse, and the wearing cannot have the experience without putting on the garment.
