Fluid Dress is a futuristic designer garment that enables its wearer to spontaneously display brief messages or express moods. The dress is made of 180 meters of clear plastic tubing that was woven on a loom developed by the artist himself. Via a computer hooked up to a pump & valve contained in a backpack, the wearer determines both the color of the fluid and the proportion of air to fluid pumped into the tubing. The result is a dynamically pulsating garment that can be spontaneously and individually adapted to the wearer’s state of mind.
