the blanket project: behavioral sculpture by nicholas stedman with future physical. equipped with a wireless transceiver, a PIC microprocessor, and a camera to detect bodies in its space. data is sent to the blanket which will then scuttle across and crawl over detected objects. the blanket's skeleton includes pressure sensors which allow it to respond to physical movement from the beings it envelopes. there are two of them that i have seen, a white one shown in the picture above which appears to be a little larger and a small grey fleece one. the blanket is currently in toronto where it is being shown at the mcluhen festival of the future.awhile ago i began to make shirts and pants that move on the wearer's body....pants that crawl up and down a leg, a shirt sleeve that slivers up an arm when a sensor is activated.....
