Since when does fashion communicate?
summary
Work since 2012 in electronic textiles leads to concrete prototypes: collections with integrated LEDs into mohair fabric, garments with touch sensors activate music and a wireless Ableton jacket that controls Ableton live as a MIDI controller. Development includes embedding cables and sensors, building smartphone apps to replace laptops on stage, testing three-LED modules and live performances, wrestling with plugin and hardware-connection limits, and exploring health-care and communication use cases while trying to move a product toward market.
