Philip Dick-inspired electroluminescent shirt

Posted by David Pescovitz, January 16, 2008 8:41 AM | permalink

Inspired by Philip K. Dick's alternate history novel The Man In The High Castle, Alejandro Zamudio and his cohorts made an "electroluminescent shirt" that displays hexagrams from the I Ching. To cast a hexagram, the wearer shakes his sleeve. Dave Gill's Total Dick-Head blog has more. (In related news, Gill will be speaking on a panel about "The Multiple Myths of Philip K. Dick" at Harvard's Vericon convention on Saturday, January 26.) Link

Synchronicity City! A just came from a Blade Runner site, only to find more Dickish stuff. Very interesting. Smart fabrics are going to make wearing art so much more possible.

question is: is it a 3 coins method shirt, or a yarrow stalks method shirt?
