Katharine Foo, Singapore

Description

Incorporating futuristic forms and elements and embedded with technologies, Speed Gesture is a sportswear concept which attempts to translate dynamic movements into visual images. With motion sensors embedded in the arm/ knee guards; the movement of joints, the contraction and relaxation of muscles are then interpreted into visual feedbacks. The animated motions of light transform the vigorous workout of an athlete into a piece of performing art as if he/she is painting the darkness with light.
