Another fantastic project exhibited at the Design Interactions Interim show is Thomas Wynne Morgan’s Love, Only Better. The project includes ‘Tie’, which combines arousal-sensing underpants with a tie, which stands on end when it detects attraction in the wearer. In Thomas’ own words the project looks at how:
‘The nature of male and female is changing, roles are changing, behaviors are changing and in this fluid and complicated society how and by what means will we adapt? How might emerging technologies be appropriated to elicit subtle forms of control and how might these changes affect out current societal norms?’
The
Video which explains the project is a must see.
