ESS: Extra Sensory Synchronicity suits

ESS: Extra Sensory Synchronicity suits 2009

Wireless sensors align the head and heart, the rational and intuitive mind.
LED light patterns synchronize in proximity of 1-2 meters.

The two ESS suits were designed for back-up dancers en tour with Borts Minorts for the France Summer Tour 2009. The ESS added extra sensing of two bodies and minds into one force to aid the coordination of choreography. The light pattern mimicked the music and synchronized in proximity of 1-2 meters. As an added bonus, the costumes also acted as stage lighting to support the singer.
