Inherent connection

Jayne Wallace uses a similar concept to Mouna Andraous, with mixing of materials to create digital technologies and jewelry. Her work focuses on the use of technology enhanced jewelry to enrich intimate interpersonal communications and relationships. 

The piece below for example is custom made for Ana, a participant in Jayne's research. It is symbolic of her relationship with her family in Cyprus and is remotely connected to a rain sensor planted within Cypriot family land. Once the sensor registers rain, a signal is sent to the jewelry object which opens the structure inside the glass, like a flower blossoming. 

I find this really interesting how an object that has the pretence to be a handmade piece of art, but has the functions and technology to personally interact in this way.

'The project above 'Journeys Between Ourselves', interact as a pair of digital neck pieces which are sensitive with touch. The touch of one causes the second to gently tremble. "This interaction is a tactile echo that reflects closeness of two people". - Juliette Sallin - SoftCircuit.
