The tunic
for daily wear increases the wearer's embodiment in daily life. Though a series
of pockets and a set of devices, the wearer is encouraged to record her path.
Manual technologies: drawing (pad and paper) and photography (camera) as well
as programmed functions: (tracking system) and responsive fabric (heat sensitive
and rear flap to register walking motion) contribute to the garment's usefulness.
Through evaluating and learning one's daily path, routine becomes less opaque
and the wearer can increase awareness, efficiency, and appreciation for the physicality
of the everyday.
Clothing as map:
Can clothing reflect a map as material? Could a reference to path be established through inscribing that path upon the garment?
