Project Run-A-Way Proposal

I am inspired by how much technology is starting to be apart of our everyday life from checking our health to watching our weight or even monitoring our sleep progress. There are even report that have biohackers putting flat like disks under their skin to monitor their body's current condition (http://gizmodo.com/the-latest-trend-among-biohackers-is-implanting-led-lig-1741697381)
I wanted to make a dress that was following along the path that we have fully embraced technology with ourselves. There will be an arduino board hooked up to a heart beat monitor that will be over the model's heart actually reading the heart beat. From this, there will be light where the model's heart is and will light up with the heart. The light will then carry down through the dress in a vein like fashion. The same vein like pattern will be on the arms but they will be covered in skin liquid latex to give the illusion that the lights are under the skin. The face will be made up with fiber optic lights and with actual make up.

Project Run-A-Way Proposal

Etta DeLisse

My idea centers around the idea of technology 'smothering' the life from us.  I personally feel a very strong connection with nature and our planet, and I feel that technology, while helpful in a great many ways, has become so invasive to our everyday lives that it feels to me that we forget that we are still part of and needing nature.  So my project is exploring the aspect of technology 'killing' a person.  I plan to use emptied electronics, velcro, black clothing (to obscure identity), led lights, cardboard, foam, and paint.  As the technology is added, lights start to go out signifying life being taken away.  The body will also respond to the technology being added with exaggerated struggling movement, such as loss of a limb.  The end result will be this person lying on the ground covered in this technology and two larger lights representing the 'eyes' will flicker/fade and go out to signify death.
