Coral Love Story
Coral Love Story, by Kasia Molga, is carefully made
from naturally decomposing liquid latex. The wearable
displays a pattern of the Great Barrier Reef painted using
thermochromic ink with conductive threads embedded
underneath the pattern. Eight motors are positioned across
the piece, marking the location of eight scientific stations
on the reef. Raspberry Pi and Feather microcontrollers
connect the suit to the internet. They read data that comes
from the scientific stations, allowing the wearable to react
in real time to coral-bleaching alerts.
