Urban Armor #6: CinnaBrooch

CinnaBrooch is the sixth piece in Urban Armor, a series of speculative and absurd wearable electronics which investigate technological and personal boundaries in public space.

An exploration of automated scent and desire, CinnaBrooch consists of a mechanical leaf shutter, a cinnamon bun, and a moisture sensor. The moisture sensor rests inside the armpit. When you are nervous and perspiring, the shutter will begin to open and close. The alluring aroma of cinnamon buns will then waft over all in your vicinity.
