concept

Through the desire to develop a machine-dress, capable of creating the wearer’s own world of experience. By using sensors and computers embedded within the outfit, detecting and analysing biometrics and other parameters. Lacking the necessary technological know-how Hayk Gabrielyan decided to focus on creating a futuristic aesthetic that takes into consideration the inclusion of such technology, giving a glimpse into an evolution that is just beginning, a window to the future. The idea was not that of an independent thinking machine, but rather of machine parts working in correlation with a specific human body wearing those parts.
