Clothing that arranges the body-

Inhaltliche Beschreibung

This piece visualizes feelings towards an era of dependency on mobile technology. All these new possibilities right here, right now, right wherever we stand. We carry with us our gadgets; we are systems of sorts - a set of draws, a storage box, a showcase for our collections of digital data plus their extension with the outside world.
This clothing is not a new technology; it makes visual some of the things that could be said of what tends to remain invisible.

Clothing that arranges the body- is a garment made up of pockets that connect their content with the outside via the flow of electricity. Instead of regular plugs and plugholes the electrical current flows through material magnetic fastenings.

This piece was inspired by the connection that clothing is capable of establishing between body and mind of the person inside, and is a result of reflecting the place our body occupies amid daily confrontation with cables, connections, the flow of electricity and digital information. Both the garment's apearance and use play with this fact that we spend every day within close proximity of electronic devices, within the flow of electricity around our bodies.
