FashionTech x EmoTech
A SYMPHONY OF EMOTION IN DESIGN AND TECH BY ELEVEN.1 E-ID
Our high-tech dress, the Eleven.1 E-ID, a pioneering creation of Jasna Rok Lab, becomes a tangible extension of the performer's emotional state. This wearable piece of artistry extends beyond fabric and thread, serving as a tangible, dynamic extension of the performer's emotional state.
Each emotion breathes life into the dress, governed by our custom-developed microcontroller. This innovative device captures, interprets, and visually represents brainwave data, offering the audience a unique glimpse into the performer's real-time emotional landscape. Experience an unprecedented emotional language, a powerful fusion of influences, from ancient Chinese energy line theories to body heat maps and color psychology.
This innovative approach redefines the boundaries of FashionTech and brings EmoTech to the spotlight, bridging the gap between the seen and unseen, the heard and the felt, the performer and the audience.
