Flex Resistor Jacket

The Flex Resistor Jacket was the first electronics project completed by Eli Skipp. First making a custom cropped marching band jacket with Pumping Station: One’s original logo embroidered on the back, conductive thread and large LEDs were attached via wire to a flex resistor, circuit board, and battery pack. The flex resistor was sewn into the elbow of the sleeve, so that bending one’s arm would cause the LEDs to light up. This piece was made with the assistance of Jordan Bunker & Jeff Kantarek.
