Jacket is supposed to have a self-tightening feature, which would allow jacket to be pressed firmly against the cat, therefore acupressure points would be massaged. The inside of this jacket have small hot glue bumps in acupressure sensitive areas. Our jacket is based on cat’s acupressure points.It is known that acupressure techniques can help to relax and overcome stress in humans and animals, like cats. We came up this idea while thinking of feedback loops. This jacket is just a conceptual idea, and our project didn’t contain any working electronic parts. We created a stress relieving jacket for cats. ![]() With this project we focused on feedback loops. Comments make it positive or negative.Ĭalm cat project was a collaborative group work of me, Monika Sumauskaite and Sol Chadwick. To make the YouTube comments disobedient you have to remove their main purpose - the expression of free will, positive or negative, so the ability to comment itself. To make these comments disobedient, we made all Velcro strips the same, with only the soft side of it, so no matter how hard you try, you would never be able to stick it on. Those fabric strips represent comments which you should put on comment section and imitate commenting. Following that we created fabric strips with Velcro, which were made by stiffening fabric with cornstarch. We mimicked layout of YouTube comment section and instead of actual comments we glued Velcro strips. On the back of the wearable we made comment section. Poncho itself has zippers on its sides, which restrains movements of the person wearing it. We worked in Fabric station for the whole time. This jacket was made by sewing main poncho and gluing on details with glue gun. Everybody had their own task in this project. Making of it wasn’t hard, rather enjoyable and fun. After some arguing and discussing we ended up with a concept of wearable poncho representing YouTube and interactive comment section on the back of it. But this idea lacked disobedience and we couldn’t agree in the group if this idea was the best we could think of. At first, we were thinking of making a big squishy foam wall with all kinds of negative YouTube comments taken from the website itself. We started by researching how could YouTube comments be disobedient. They formulated our assignment- "Make YouTube comments disobedient using fabric to design this object as a wearable or soft thing". These cards indicated what kind of thing/object we were supposed to make. We had to choose 3 cards which we wanted from a big list, but to make this project more interesting, we chose to select them randomly. This project started with me, Monika Sumauskaite, Sol Chadwick, Sterre van der Helm getting together into one group.
