AER - An Interactive Installation For Exploring Breathing

Aer is an interactive installation which enables the participant to explore the act of breathing through the use of wearable technology and auditive representation. In the context of this thesis I present a prototype version of a garment that is capable of converting breathing pattern information into sound through a computer. The wearable is designed to embody and sensorially express breathing related meanings: ephemerality, connectedness and duality.

Breathing caught between the voluntary and the involuntary –a peculiar phenomenon of life, indeed.
