Playing around with sound reactive software.

The new LEDivaW may not have a motion trigger like the original LEDiva, but it can connect to a program called LEDfx that will wirelessly make the LEDs dance with music. The software can be challenging to set up, but once you do it is rather easy to get everything working with a bunch of really nice looking sound reactive effects.

My goal with this is to eventually have a small device that will run this software and allow you to connect multiple LEDivaW devices to it for sound reactive ability on the go. Think of going to an event and being able to connect to the venues special WiFi that let’s the DJ have control over your LEDivaW clothing so that you become part of the light show.

Latex Radioactive Dress

by The Modular Diva on September 26, 2020

This was an updated version of the Hazard stripe dress I did years before. This was also the first latex dress that I laser cut all of the parts to get some very complex layers. It was by far the most complex and amazing looking dresses I have ever made.

Vampire Dress

This is a custom made corset and skirt made from weathered silk. The corset uses an experimental tension clasp rather than the traditional laces along with a massive #30 Zipper in the front that is functional. The skirt uses a belt and buckle type system to adjust the length in 5 places.

Carol Milne’s “Queen of the Knit”

I first met Carol Milne through another artist that I help by installing electronics. She wanted to add a few LEDs to a piece for an upcoming show in upstate New York. This was around the time when I was finishing the design for my LEDiva™ controller and Carol’s project looked like the perfect test case for how effective a tool my chip could be for artists. She was quickly convinced when I showed her the many options and how the reactive feedback would add to the experience. This is a wearable project and allowing the lights to react to the movements of the model just adds so much to the effect.

For those who are unfamiliar with Carol’s work, she is an internationally known artist that uses knitting techniques but with glass. Her work is quiet stunning on it’s own and I am happy that I could help to add a bit of embellishment to her latest project.

This was an interesting first step for me and the LEDiva™. Though I did consult with Carol, I did not actually have any involvement in installing the electronics. I simply showed her how the buttons worked, how to connect the battery, and the LEDs. She did all of the hard work of installing the components and I just pulled stuff out of my bins. The process went very smoothly and proved to me how useful the LEDiva™ can be for artists. It allows them to just focus on making art and can be used just like any other tool.

Convertible Skirt

This is a PVC skirt that can have a floor length extension added to it. I was also thinking of adding some other attachments like pant legs or a wrap around asymmetrical skirt.

Sexy Strappy Pants

This is a design I made for club clothing that would creatively show some skin. These Pants feel and look fantastic. I do still have the original prototype for sale on this site.
