With a background in Fashion Design (2000-2010), her interest lead towards com-
bining her fashion study with interaction design/user experience design. And as
she started with the integration of robotic parts in combination with Arduino’s
during 2006, her interest grew towards “animating” her designs.
Microcontrollers are used to prototype before making customized circuit boards
to ‘feed’ the electronically -equipped dresses and instead of using ordinary
electronics like LED’s, her projects are based on more ‘uncontrolled’ materials
like special e -foils, wearable smoke providers, and tube-systems consisting of
colored liquid. Curator of the TECHNOSENSUAL ‘Where fashion meets Tech-
nology’ exhibition that took place at MuseumsQuartier Wien, she gives an insight to what it takes to create ‘Electronic Couture’.
