It uses bright and colourful visual language reminiscent of 8bit video games. The goal of Pixi is to make gaming and technology interesting and credible to female readers, and young professionals in general. View the iPad prototype here.

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.
