Computational Couture Show: Skorpions

As a Scorpio myself, I am indeed intrigued by these Skorpion outfits. These two young women - muscle girl, and girl in white pod behind & to the left of her demonstrate how these mysterious and electric garments are worn. Here is an excerpt from pamphlet:

"... are kinetic electronic garments that move and change on the body in slow orgnaic motions. They can be imagined as parasites that inhabit the skin of the host. ... they integrate electronic fabrics, the shape-memory alloy Nitinol, mechanical actuators such as magnets, soft electronic circuits , and traditional textile construction... the 'Skwrath' (one with red silk lining) has an abdomen composed of 3 interlocking segments, embroidered with SMA (shape memory alloy) threads that are activated through a custom electronic board to contract and curl back..."
