Resonance Description

Luca Rudenstine

Resonance is a two-part therapuetic wearable experience inspired by the dance ‘Unravel.’  Utilizing vibrational nodes conencted to an arduino, the body is immersed in sensations correlating to the heartrates of the dancer.

The goal of the audience wearable is to communicate with the body through vibration. After researching where trauma is held in the body, a suit was developed that both soothes and engages the audience user. Aesthetically, the audience's wearable represents a physical manifestation of trauma with black ruffles extending along with the suit. The dancer's wearable represents growth through a flower motif and intricate organic shapes.
