SHE BON

Sarah Petkus (US)

The SHE BON project is a collection of body augments which sense aspects of the wearer’s physical state in order to communicate sexual arousal. Collectively, the systems that have been developed for this project make up a highly personalized “suit of amour” capable of orchestrating sensor input from the body in order to display mechanical and electronic forms of performative output which express subtle aspects of the wearer’s physical state in a manner that characterizes their sexual identity.

Joy on the wheels

This project engages with ‘Outsiders,’ an online meeting and dating platform for physically disabled people. For a long time, the sexuality of people with a disability has been often ignored. This project aims to encourage sexual expression in this community and healthy relationships through helping them explore their and their partners’ body.
