Keywords

What started as a simple workshop for the Lilypad Arduino at the InterAccess Media Arts Centre in Toronto turned into a quest to make underwear sing the Mario Bros theme music.

Workshop attendees were introduced to the world of electronics and textiles, smart textiles, and wearables. The initial lecture was followed by an intensive session learning the ins and outs of the Lilypad, conductive fabric and thread, soft switches, and basic electronics while constructing a pair of singing underwear.
