Some of the art works play with the idea of wearable technology eg. techwear:
Kumao is showing a collection of "Wired Ware'' - that is, wearable black garments decorated with audio-activated LEDs (light emitting diodes). Displayed on mannequins, the electrified garments are accompanied by a video showing Kumao trying on examples while offering sardonic commentary.
The most ambitious garment, "Monitor II,'' comes with an electronic-control handbag, filled with cables and batteries, and studded outside with control knobs. When activated by microphones grouped in the chest area, vertical lines of LEDs illuminate the front of the dress. In the video, Kumao describes the lighted garment as ideal for dance clubs, sports events and political demonstrations.
