Jayne Wallace
Journeys Between Ourselves (2007)
Keywords: digital jewelry, emotional significance, meaningfulness
Journeys... are a pair of digital neckpieces custom made for a mother and daughter participating in Jayne's research. The forms of the neckpieces are influenced in part by a Kay Nielsen illustration that is cherished by the couple. The neckpices are responsive to touch; the touch of one causes the second to tremble gently. This interaction is a tactile echo that reflects their closeness and feelings for each other.
Materials: porcelain, paper, felt, light sensors, motors, motes, accelerometers, batteries.
Inspirations: A. Dunn 'Hertzian Tales: Electronic products, aesthetic experience and critical design', Malin Lindmark Vrijman.
