essence:
a breathing jacket
This
would be a jacket or shirt that records and plays back breath.
Small bladders of air would fill and empty with the breathing
pattern, or possibly use another material that expands and
contracts with a current flow (some kind of foam?). There
could also be an element of heat, as well as sound (either
breathing sounds or hearthbeat, like a stethoscope) The
recording could come from the last person wearing the jacket,
or be sent over the phone. I see this project as an investigation
into better incorporating tactility and texture into my
tangible media work.
