How can we pass bodylanguage through clothing in shape/colour to communicate more easily? Due to digitally communicating instead of communicating in person, there is a lack of bodylanguage which causes miscommunications.

Research question

How can body postures, as a form of non verbal communication, inspire expressing garments?


Research text

1. What is the theme I am investigating? Why is this relevant?

Bodylanguage. Bodylanguage is 80% of communication.


2. How does this relate to the body, identity, and technology? Defend the relevancy.

Because of the upcoming of technologies and social media, we think body language will be a forgotten language. And because 80% of the communication goes non-verbally we want to visualize body language through garments. You can express yourself throughout your garment. It will be more easy for people to communicate in public instead of everybody hiding in their telephonescreens. Also the clothing will grow along with your identity, giving a whole new dimension to clothing and making it more valuable.


3. What is my research question? Why is this relevant?

How can body postures, as a form of non verbal communication, inspire expressing garments?


4. How am I structuring my research? Why is this relevant?

By folding, movement and color we want to create a expressing garment. We want to investigate what the effect of body language, posture and movement is on the garment.


5. What tools or methods could I/will I use to conduct my research? How are these relevant?

The human body and it's reaction on emotions/communication. The product itself.


6. What is the foreseen result? Why would this be this relevant?

A transforming clothingpiece. You can express yourself throughout your garment. It will be more easy for people to communicate in public instead of everybody hiding in their telephonescreens. Also the clothing will grow along with your identity, giving a whole new dimension to clothing and making it more valuable.


7. What is the difference between my foreseen result and my initial experiments? Relevance?

The aggregate material in Starpath, which comes in form of a spray with applied elastomeric coating into which a wide range of mediums can be added. It absorbs and stores energy from ambient light (UV rays) during the day, and releases this energy at night, making the particles glow. The material glows for up to 16 hours after a charge and the particles will last a minimum of 20 years.
