Aptly called the ‘Spider Dress’, this piece of wearable tech features animatronic mechanical limbs that respond to external stimuli while defend the personal space of the wearer. The dress provides an extension of the wearers intuition: It uses proximity sensors as well as a respiration sensor to both define and protecting the personal space of the wearer. Approach the wearer to aggressively and the mechanical limbs move up to an attack position. Approach the system under calmer circumstance and the dress just might beckon you to come closer with smooth, suggestive gestures. 3-D printed sensor based animatronic/mechatronic dress enabled by the Intel Edison acts as the interface between the body and the external world using technology and the garment as a medium of interaction. Testing-phase. The design will be showcased during CES alongside the Synapse dress for Intel, January 6-9th in Las Vegas, soon more…
“A collaboration between fashiontech designer Anouk Wipprecht [NL] and technologist Aduen Darriba [NL]. The dress is a wireless and wearable tangible couture “smoke screen” imbued with the ability to suddenly visually obliterate itself through the excretion of a cloud of smoke. Ambient clouds of smoke are created when the dress detects a visitor approaching, thus camouflaging itself within it’s own materiality. The “SMOKE DRESS,” with its loose net of metallic threads and electrical wire, works at the scale of the magical illusionists trick, permitting a hypothetical magician’s assistant to perform her own disappearing act” // written by Valerie Lamontagne for fashioningtech.com
//SYSTEM
A wearable [550 gram] and wireless system which triggers the attention by flirting through cute blinks and sparks, but covers itself in a thick layer of smoke as soon as you approach – leaving the body undetectable. Operated by a custom micro controller based battery driven sensory system on the back of the design calculating and sampling the girl’s personal space and sending data to the tiny smoke generator between the shoulders, this system runs up to 4 hours prior to battery exchange. Functioning as protection shield, projected as parasitic instrument hosted on the body it creates organic sculpted borders and communicates a non verbal ‘fuck off’ sign. Set up from an interaction set of mind to explore the boundaries of personal space vs animalistic behavior / territorial drifts.

Skateboarding in Madagascar is not common place. In some parts of the country it’s possible no one has ever skated before. The journey through the mysterious, yet glorious country continues.
The locals were stoked to check out the boy’s skateboards, and what was first a search for spots, turned into an all-out flatland jam sesh with some of the barefooted boys from around town. No double sets or kinked rails on this portion of the trip, just a pure love of skateboarding, and new friends to share the stoke with. Just one of the many ways a skateboard can take you to places nothing else can.
Shred in peace, Wilko Grüning.
Our utmost condolences go out to Wilko, his family, and the entire skateboard community.

I was honored with a quite sweet award from the European skateboard community, the ‘best film-maker of 2014’. Along with a trophy, Red Bull pretty much told me I can choose any place on earth and film a short piece. I scrambled through a world atlas and thought that Madagascar would be the ideal place to celebrate this award as well as explore the streets of this exotic island along the Indian Ocean with some good friends. Produced by Red Bull Directed, Filmed & Edited by Patrik Wallner Featuring Barney Page, Denny Pham, Nestor Judkins, Wilko Grüning, Brian Dolle, Gosha Konyshev Photography by Lev Maslov Text and French interpretation by Kirill Korobkov Here is Kirill Korobkov giving a short intro to our trip: Madagascar sounds a bit like something from the pages of a fantasy novel. Everyone knows that this place exists, but it’s so remote that it is almost like a myth. The big island resides on Africa’s east side and is a rare destination for outsiders, isolated by both sea and distance. In terms of the skateboarding? Madagascar just might be the perfect mix of originality, adventure, vacation and the unpredictable unknown.

The Power of an All-Woman Mariachi Band Mariachi is “passed on from generation to generation,” says Mireya Ramos, a musician who lives in New York City. “It’s very traditional and very macho.” Ramos tells filmmaker Jenny Schweitzer that she had “negative experiences” with other bands—that is to say, with the men who performed in them—and decided to form Flor de Toloache, a seven-piece, all-women mariachi group. “For people who are used to seeing men play, we’re making a statement. We’re breaking that concept,” says Ramos. -Chris Heller (Senior Associate Editor, The Atlantic Video) This is the first episode of RHYTHM IN MOTION, a series of short films about New York’s subway musicians. www.RhythmInMotion.nyc https://www.facebook.com/RhythmInMotionNYC Flor de Toloache just released their new album: https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/mariachi-flor-de-toloache/id956080850 … ABOUT THE SERIES Directed, produced, shot, and edited by Jenny Schweitzer The films were created in collaboration with the MTA’s arts division, MTA Arts & Design, and in association with Killer Content (Still Alice, Alec Baldwin’s Here’s the Thing podcast) and Cinelan (FOCUS FORWARD Short Films, Big Ideas and WE THE ECONOMY 20 Short Films You Can’t Afford To Miss). … New York City subway buskers are a well-documented bunch. It is not unusual to witness a sea of iphones capturing those random performances as we scurry to our trains. Since arriving in NYC in the late-90’s, I, too, have marveled at them, mesmerized by this inimitable cast of characters. All the time, I have wondered what drove these performers underground. For me, these musicians serve as an essential thread woven into the great culture that forms our vibrant city. It was difficult to develop the first pieces. Having been approached by filmmakers on so many occasions, the musicians initially were skeptical of me. My objective in making these films was to give these gifted people the opportunity to reveal a hidden aspect of who they are and to voice their artistic message. While the musicians’ talent and performances serve as the framework for each film, for me, the allure lies beneath the music. The films peek into their arresting and deeply personal stories. In 1987 the Metropolitan Transit Authority created Music Under New York to offer musicians access to coveted, high traffic spots in the subway system and to assure the commuters a high level of artistic accomplishment. An annual, highly selective public audition in Grand Central Station invites newcomers to the roster. More than 350 individual performers participate in more than 7,500 performances throughout the transit system annually. Rhythm in Motion profiles ten members from the Music Under New York roster. For me, collaborating with Music Under New York was a critical step in moving forward with the project. It was deeply important that this vital organization value what my films could reveal about their network of musicians and this slice of NYC culture. -Jenny Schweitzer
