Life jacket

Life jacket…
Normally we use life jackets when drowning from a ship or something. But in normal land based life we don’t even know that we are in the habit of being drowned in a reduced reality. This simplified reality is caused by our laziness to explore possible new views on what we are and what we saw in life.

This jacket is a life saver because it opens up new combinations of things that happened in your life.
This vest gives five sentences, three on the back and two in front. These sentences form the story of your life. Each time you change position the sentences change and you get a new interpretation of your life. Since there are 5 displays with each 10 sentences there are 100,000 interpretations of the wonders (and catastrophes) which happened during your life. I am pretty sure there are some interpretations you never guessed!

If you realize that even this extremely simple combinatory vest gives so many different combinations of situations you get an idea what happens with the number of interpretations you could think of in real life, with bigger stories.
We are mostly stuck in quite a simplified universe of a few feelings and views on our life, relations and friends. We could imagine more!

Once in 10 seconds the interpretation is sent by wireless to those who are listening. The rest of the time, the vest is listening itself to wireless messages, and it puts the messages on the displays to explore even more possibilities of this bizar universe.

The vest is a mesh of cloth. This mesh gives the vest an large amount of natural pockets. These pockets come in handy if you want to hide some electronics and sensors!

There are five LDR’s on the vest looking for changing light.
