valerie lamontagne is a canadian artist based in montreal who created series of interactive dresses that change form based on weather patterns. the project is titled ‘peau d’ane’ after a fairy tale by charles perrault detailing three dresses made from the sky, moonbeams and sunlight. while each of these things is immaterial, lamontagne found ways to materialize them in her dresses. temperature, UV, solar radiation, wind speed & velocity, humidity and rain fall data is collected and sent to the dresses wirelessly, where micro-controllers relay info to internal circuitry. the sun dress has 128 LEDs which can light up depending on sun data, while the moon dress has 14 colour-modulating flowers to represent each phase of the moon cycle and the sky dress is imbued with 14 vibrating air pockets.

hey the concept seems quite interesting
good work!
Superb! In terms of marketability this could translate to one coat for all seasons, changing isolation with air pockets, changing color each season and visibility in traffic at night!
