Emotional Baggage is a project based on bringing together the digital and physical worlds. The image I used was generated using the sounds from an interview about comfort and the colours were also decide by the answers in the interview. The bag was made on a knitting machine and employing many knit techniques to create a fully formed bag.

Then the audio that inspired the bag was loaded to an Arduino and the bag was turned into wearable tech. If the two buttons are pressed together, the tabs will finish the circuit and the sound will play.

The audio was visualised using Touchesigner and the video can be seen via the link below.
