I couldn’t get the LEDs to turn on when I put on the shirt, but it did turn on before I added it. The idea is that I want to illustrate a shirt that has two different lights that will turn on based on passing another shirt that is “fast fashion.” So, if someone with fast fashion clothing walks by, the red LED will turn on. If someone with sustainable clothing walks by, the green LED will turn on. The idea is to make people aware of how fast fashion is taking over the clothing industry and how prominent it is. However, my art piece has a lot of loopholes to it, as it doesn’t have a sensor to figure out which clothes are fast fashion. I think it would also be interesting if I made the LEDs as part of hoodie strings instead of on a T-shirt. That way it would be more subtle compared to two LED lights sticking out of a shirt.
