CONSTELLATION DRESSES	The Constellation Dresses are made of recycled garments (we give them a second life through soft electronics), conductive textiles, and simple textile-based circuits. Each is covered with a dozen irregularly arranged magnetic snaps connected with conductive thread that act as a mechanical and electrical connection between bodies, a well as embroidered LEDs. When one dress connects with the snaps from another, the circuit on the garment is closed and the constellation of LEDs on the dress lights up. The irregular placement of the snaps induces wearers to create playful and compelling choreographies to connect their circuits. Rather than relying primarily on the hand for interaction, the Constellation dresses allow wearers to enact playful scenarios that bring humour and the element of chance into garment-based interactions. By bringing people together mechanically and electronically, the garments explore metaphors for building electronic or social networks.
