Barking Mad is an interactive wearable; an urban survival coat that helps shy, stressed people deal with situations of urban overcrowding. Proximity sensors respond to infringements on personal space with the sound of barking dogs. The coat barks like a small poodle if the space infringement is not too severe, and like a rottweiler if someone gets too close.

This wearable, responsive garment turns the intimate breath of the wearer into pulses of light. The inhalation and exhalation of the wearer activates a breath sensor that dims and brightens the printed LED of the garment.

This work is my first piece to explore interactive wearable art. three distence sensors are carefully embedded in flowers on my dress. a lilypad arduino, a speaker, and batteries are hidden on the back of the fan I hold and become invisible for the viewers. when the viewers use a microphone to close exame the body to search signal, sharp sounds will occur.
