InsideOutside

I do like the idea of a piece of clothing that ‘links’ you to places, augments the feeling you have of spaces, reacts to it. InsideOutside is a project that is participative as everyone can enter the coordinate of places that make him/her feel uncomfortable. The designer is Annina Rüst (Check by the same occasion her eRiceCooker project!). I find it rather amusing that the wearer poses in front of an MIT modernist building… that I do happen to feel comfortable with… maybe because of my design background. Would be cool if we could sense/locate the public places where people feel particularly comfortable with/in… just out of curiosity…

InsideOutside is a piece of (under-)clothing that heats up or cools down uncomfortably when the wearer gets near spaces where others feel discomfort. These areas can include but are not limited to video-surveilled areas, shopping malls, riot-proof architecture, uncomfortable street furniture etc…
