Wear

Wear, designed and made by Laura Devendorf, is a project that explores how we might use technology on the body to reflect upon embodied experiences. Created during the 2020 COVID Lockdown, it is a handwoven garment with 21 force sensors that capture where her body encountered pressures (from children, objects, etc) for 24 hours. These experiences of pressure and touch can be replayed via heating circuitry in the cloth, allowing the recorded experiences to become visible as heat across the garment and body.
