presence | absence
Gesture formed a large portion of this exploration. Placing of my wallet, keys, and phone in my pockets as well as constantly checking for them inspired this. The jacket pockets have a set of snaps sewed into them. These correspond with a set each on my wallet, keys and phone. On putting my devices into my pockets and snapping them shut the devices are physically connected to the jacket. The jacket has three light emitting diodes (LED’s) that stop blinking when these connections are completed. The LED’s move into a panic mode when any of these are absent by indicating with a rapid blink. Every minute or so the circuit does a quick check on all the components and makes sure they are all present and this is viewed when the LED’s dim slowly, reassuring their presence
