Blowfish Jacket
How low-tech we were back in school,
sticking our fingers out around our cheeks...
we make money not art: Wearable WarningsThe prototype coat features warning strips of fur that become electro-statically charged when the wearer feels threatened. 'When charged the fur begins to stand on end; a visual indication that the wearer is uncomfortable. If someone invades the wearer's personal space they will begin to feel a second warning; as they enter the coat's electrostatic field they will feel tingling skin sensations and their hair will stand on end. The fur will begin to twitch toward them and emit crackling sounds. If the 'threat' proceeds to touch the fur then 100,000 volts of electro-static charge discharges from the fur, into the offender's body.'
