(re)connect
(re)connect is a garment that allows the wearer to receive feedback from their own gesture and touch. It is constructed of fleece, conductive fabric, conductive thread, boning, and vibrating motors. Engaging in simple, instinctive poses provides the opportunity to close off the outside world and turn inward. Physical connections made between the hands and other points on the body close electric circuits, causing mild vibrations in different regions of the upper body. Both the hood and sleeves are generous in size, allowing the wearer to feel fully covered and protected. It is about centering, grounding, or focusing in the midst of chaos. It gives the power to create one’s own physical and mental space in any sort of situation.

People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did – but people will never forget how you made them feel.

Coming soon: robotic prostitutes. A new scientific paper suggests that by 2050, many bordellos and brothels will have replaced human prostitutes with lifelike robots

Beyond being tireless and disease-free, researches hope that commercial sex robots would actually reduce the trafficking of real people. Human trafficking continues to plague every region of the globe, with conservative estimates putting the victim count at 2.5 million, according to the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime.
