At the intersection of activism and fast fashion; katjastrophe wanted to create a piece that invokes the human element. In a cronenbergian twist this hoodie comes to life with watching eyes.
Uses a Pi 4 with camera and some custom printed eyeballs on servos.
Via Instructables:
When we buy clothes in a store or online, we usually have no connection to the people who made them. The only clue is a small label that reads “Made in …”. This project aims to symbolically “humanize” clothing and draw attention to the production context.
For this purpose, I integrated movable 3D-printed eyes into a hoodie that follow the viewer’s position. The eye was chosen for two reasons:
- Eyes express human emotions and enable nonverbal communication, helping to “humanize” the hoodie.
- At the same time, the sensation of being watched should create discomfort and encourage reflection on consumer behavior.
