Sticky, Itchy, and Stiff wearable fashion to generate power

There was talk about a company using recycled plastic for gowns for graduates. Now slowly there arises in the horizon a need for environmentally friendly attire. Even accessories for that matter – every way that the air can breathe again and so can our posterity. This is an interesting concept called the wearable and on-the-go power generation from XS Labs, a team of researcher and artists founded by Joanna Berzowska. This team is dedicated to develop innovative methods and applications in electronic textiles and responsive garments. Their new project is called ‘Captain Electric and Battery Boy‘ to help generate power via body and garment movements which can be used to transform or change the garments as response to internal and external stimulus.

Through this project, three wearable artifacts namely Sticky, Itchy, and Stiff, that constrain body motions in a variety of ways are going to be boosted. These three will passively harness energy from body movements and actively via user interaction. The more uncomfortable and exhausted you are or the more you stretch and bend, the more power these can produce. Also, the more you suffer, apparently, the better the dress will look upon you! What a random idea … also strange.
