My costume is a mask that uses light to reverse contour the face, with a veil that will diffuse the light. The intention of my costume is to hide the wearer in ‘bright sight’.
I will first make the veil, and if I have time I would love to try and make an organza full face mask.
I would like to use a photodiode/photoresister to synch the lights in the mask to turn on when the mask senses a camera flash. I would also like to be able to toggle between a few light settings (always on, flicker, photosensitive).
I am using organza for the veil, wire and leds for the mask.
I will be using the Gemma and a photoresistor of some kind.
To do:
- Finish acquiring electronic parts
- create wireframe for mask
- sew/possibly embroider the veil

I really love your idea; it’s incredibly creative! Creating a wireframe for the mask will be a challenge, but using the thick iron wire from Sinclair’s class sounds like a great solution.
