Animated Pen Nib Dress
Designed by Steven Tai and John Nussey, the Pen Nib dress is a garment with animated "scales" comprising 795 pen nibs, mounted on tiny motors. The effect of the animated pen nibs is remarkable; the garment flickers, twitches and glistens like a second "protective" skin.
I particularly love the process photos which you can see more of here.

yes, melissa, it also made me think of armour! :)
i really like this piece - i mean, on one hand, it's a lot of hardware + a big stack of batteries, but what impressive execution! both the pen-nib matrix and the beautifully organised wires inside show hours of effort for a beautiful result. and a lovely combination of old and new materials.

It's very reminiscent of samurai clothing.
Is the pen mightier than the sword?
