London – The spirits can be your personal stylist at The Unseen’s latest exhibition deep under the vaults of Somerset House.
EIGHTHSENSE is an immersive experience with a dark twist that combines augmented technology from Holition with the ethereal world of the afterlife.
Visitors to the exhibition will have a personal aura reading and their magnetic levels taken using an EEG device. This biodata will then be translated visually through the garment.
The piece, described as ‘the clever cousin of the A I R trio’, The Unseen’s wind-responsive outfit, is a coded couture costume that responds to real-time data. As the aura is read, the piece changes colour from greys and blacks to pastels and vibrant rainbow shades.
