CO2RSET

Couture that responds to CO2 levels in the atmosphere.
I am interested in making objects that enable you to feel information your senses are not acutely aware of. In this case I was exploring environmental data. The corset form was selected for its command of the breath, making it possible to bring awareness to air quality by tightening and loosening on the torso.
