Programmable Material / Wearable Computing / Fashion Design
"quatre unité" is the clothing made from Fabcell exhibited at the mo]ve[ment MODE & SCIENCE 3rd Fashion Event at the Tokyo University Museum. The clothing for this event, which directed by professor Yoshiaki Nishino, Naoki Takizawa, Hiroyuki Sekioka, was created mainly by Fab, a student fashion organization. "Fabcell" changes color from red to blue. Different from Light emitting diode and liquid crystal display, Fabcell is non-radiant and adds softness to the clothing as well as a mechanical quality. With Wearable Computing, the exposure of the control device and battery often affects the beauty of the clothing itself.However, we tried adding the beauty of mechanics of a classical computer to the organic form of a body by exposing them on purpose. We were the first to succeed in creating clothing made of Fabcell people can wear.
