artfuture :: SIGGRAPH 2008 :: Wearable Forest

Ryoko Ueoka and Hiroki Kobayashi gave Artfuture a tour through their collaborative and highly interactive Wearable Forest project in SIGGRAPH 2008's Slow Art gallery. Not only is the wearable dress soft and comfortable, it shows the activity in the forest of Japan by the number and speed of change in the lights on the garment - the same place the sound for the project is taken from, piped in live over the Internet.

You can listen to the live sounds heard in the Wearable Forest project at Hill Kobayashi's site - http://www.soundbum.org/. Furthermore, there are 3 other live sounds, running for 24 hours at http://www.aqua-scape.jp/
