The Chair's structure
will be made up of a thick wool flannel which will be perforated to
hold a grid of molded silicone cushions. As the sitter moves in the
chair the chair will record these movements and, over a period of
time, the chair will react (change in temperature and/or vibrations)
to simple repetetive behaviors. The silicone cushions would have a
quiltedquality, so that various interactions could happen at different
locations in the 'fabric'. The silicone molds could be embedded with
sensors (piezo actuators and transducers, peltier device, LED's).
The arm rests will also have a silicone detail meshed with the aluminum
structure. The silicone area of the arm rests could also have touch
sensors at particular locations.
