Utility Harness for the Tortured Artist
This project was a collaboration with Jordan Vinyard. It consists of a utility harness, which is outfitted with two stepper motors, a micro-controller, and a flexible sensor. When the person wearing the harness smiles, the sensor bends and triggers the motors to whip three strands of wire with barbs on the end accross the wearers back.
Detail of barbs.
