Buddy system: cyborg-chic lamp dresses link up for a brighter show

Di-Mainstone-Sharewear-lamp-dress-2.jpg
Called "Sharewear" by creator Di Mainstone, this pair of dresses light the area around them in different ways depending on how they're linked up. Both costumes feature a floating, halo-on-a-stick-style lamp above the wearer's head, as well as a second light under the dress, beside the wearer's legs. The shadows the dresses cast are different when the various connectors are used: they can be slotted together at the hip or hooked up with a rod.

Sharewear is designed as a performance set. The dresses come in small boxes and are assembled on-stage before the audience and manipulated in real-time. Di Mainstone created the dresses with the V2_Lab team during her residency at the V2_ Institute in Rotterdam. Check out the galley below for more of her Sharewear.

Is it just me, or do these suits make the women look like Tweedledee and Tweedledum?

I don't get it... Ok so they are strange dresses that light up and connect... Their purpose??

These are the stupidest fucking things!!!

I just bought two of these.

Why?

Because I am an IDIOT.

I'd wager coolness is a darkness only thing. Kind of like Christmas lights, which look ugly in the daytime.

I like them. I think you guys don't get it - they should be in a museum or part of a performance - not made for commercial purpose. It's quite obvious, non?

That's just stupid looking...

They remind me of the costumes from the future sequence in Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure and the Television show. Wierd!

I dont care if they are for performance or a new wearable porta-potty which might actually be usefull at some point in the next 1000 years unlike its intended purpose,which is non(e). its still retarded and a waste of time and money

Dear "ME" -- lesbian apparently, which may be a bit of a trend for some, but hardly "chic."

Does this lamp make my butt look big?

YES.

Wierd, yes.
Attractive, no.
Truly funtional, not really that either -
However, it looks like something remotely similar to a dress I saw on a gal at a Blue Man Group concert - can you see it light up and not based on the beat of the music? Strobe dress anyone???

Looks mighty itchy.

I don't understand what the big hairy is. It's just a fun, funky thing. And it's not your money, Mike, so what's the big deal? It's not like your wifey is gonna run out and buy them!

Not Girlicious, Girldiculous!

These are the ugliest dresses that I've seen in a long time, and they do make the models look rotund. These are two attributes that I would not want in my clothing, no matter how interesting or techno-cool it is.
