Intimacy

This dress is a project from the Dutch artist Daan Roosegaarde in collaboration with the fashion designer Maartje Dijkstra. The concept is all about "technology becoming intimate extensions of our skins." It's a high-tech garment that becomes transparent depending on the distance between the garments. It plays with the idea of intimacy, sensuality and disclosure. The garments are made of wireless, interactive technologies and smart foils which can become transparent. These foils are a material that the artist worked to develop further. It can changes from white to transparent. In the neck of the dress, there is also a globe that is illuminated and which contains a wireless device which communicates with another globe using RF transmissions. When both globes are getting closer, or more "intimate", the dress slowly becomes transparent.

I really like this design because it plays with the idea of intimacy and human kind with electronic. It is also a great aesthetic design, very fashionable, very simple.
