tracking pressure points intimate

the paint has been carried on from the formal handshake to the intimate.
where the fingers touch now there is a much more complex shape and structure showing from the colour combinations

this experiment helps us ulitise where the hand connects so we can base our model on the overlapping paint points for structuring the pressure sensors.

tracking pressure points

One hand is painted with yellow paint
the other hand is painted with red.

Two handshakes are chosen to use,
a formal handshake and an informal handshake.













First, the formal handshake is used.
where the wet paint touches the other hand,
it leaves a mark on the unpainted skin,
or mixes colours with the painted other hand.

project three ideas

handshakes.
the idea jason and i have is to utilise different forms of handshakes to set off electical connections.

IDEA. RING
each person will have a ring or two which they wear on specific fingers.
when the two shake hands, the connections will complete a circuit setting off a pattern of light glowing in different patterns to show their touch.
this light display could be quite beautiful if for example we use red LEDs.
for a companionship joint, the red can represent friendship and a bond. glowing, pulsing as the rings are connected.
certain other connections could be different colours for a more formal shake.

we will explore into very formal hand connections to the emotional bond formed and how it can be expressed.

project three

group project.
jason and i have decided to go in a group together to colab our brilliant ideas into a product worthwhile yet emotive.
finger sensitivity to touch.
with human interaction is something you overlook when thinking about LEDs and components. i want to use the LEDs to interact with the user by emotion.
the hands and how it can join with other hands is a base to start from.
By different hand movement and connections, different sensors and nerve feelings are produced.

i want to explore into how the hand and fingers simbolise emotions by expression.
typically the fingers are used for purposes such as holding rings. rings express emotion of love, family heritage and general interest and outward taste.
Certain fingers are associated with marriage where others are connected to family heirlooms.
typically speaking.
jewels and metal show wealth and reflect light in their glory to shine out.
this is where LEDs can represent the jewels and crystals.


Emotion is associated with mood, temperament, personality and disposition, and motivation. The English word 'emotion' is derived from the French word émouvoir. This is based on the Latin emovere, where e- (variant of ex-) means 'out' and movere means 'move'.^[1] The related term "motivation" is also derived from movere.
rings connecting hand shakes can set off sensors and nerves.

skeleton dress dark photo shoot

getting the dress on and turned on.. you can see the shape the wire has been formed like a corsit to the body. the way the geometry shows the figure which hopefully is shown when in the dark and lit up by the LEDs.

dancing, jumping up and down (which kind of broke a connection) meaning that i had to secure the battery more than what it was originally.

first and second cluster being turned on by the light sensor. hence the top and one side is not turned on yet
series of photographs with different exposure levels.
the coloured lights work well with this dress i think. the last picture you can really see the amount it is emitting onto the wire and the texture it is making by it.
