Abstract

This paper describes conceptual and technical prototypes of reactive body-worn artifacts that display their history of use and communicate physical (or embodied) memory. This work concentrates on garments that reflect more subtle, playful, or poetic aspects of our identity and history.This pieces described here are part of a larger research project called Memory Rich Clothing. A variety of input and output methodologies are explored to sense and display traces of physical memory, raising the question: What exactly do we want to remember.
