Reflux (2013)

Galina Mihaleva, Singapore

 

 

Description

Reflux is a smart dress made from traditional materials: leather corset and three dimensional tactile fabrics skirt, is designed as a textile interface that through its interaction in motion is able to bring to senses characteristics related to virtual, fluidity and flexibility. This project aims to create unique relationship between the three domains (Sound, Visual and Movement) used as a tool to enhance expressivity, augment the body and textile, and create immersive and synesthetic experiences, focusing on two ideas: The transmutability of digital data between Sound Visual and Movement and Live visualisation of Sound and Movement. In that way the space is hybridized, so that the virtual seems to gain the time of the act.
