Interactive Light Dress Performance
I did this participatory performance as creative experience during a community event at Monterey Museum of Art in March 2020, less than a week before the California’s sheltering in place.
Without knowing that our physical interaction would be restricted soon due to the outbreak of COVID-19, I thought of human interactions as a positive social behavior, did this interactive performance to which guests were invited to interact with me to activate the lights on the garment. In collaboration with Monterey Makers, I created this colorful dress with LED lights, which were also connected to bend sensors on my arms to be activated by physical interactions between the guests and me.
