In the work by Behnaz Farahi clothes are alive, capable of extending human perception. The collar of IRIDESCENCE, in fact, changes its color in response to the passers by, on the basis of their expressions captures by a facial tracking camera. This project was commissioned by the Museum of Science and Industry, Chicago for a 15-month exhibition entitled “Wired to Wear” opening on March 21.
