“Soundwear” by Hanna Nielson were
my favourite objects displayed at this event. Her collection of four sound-making hats were playful
and interactive, expressing ideas of communication between people, personal
space, and how we all experience reality in different ways. Each hat is a separate
colour and makes a different, interesting sound to convey a type of personality.
The connections between these elements are very clever and creative, and I love
how the hats are meaningful yet also an experience for both the wearer and
viewer.
The green character is an introverted shy person, playing a melody to
themselves on the stringed instruments at the side. 
The red character is an authoritative
leader figure, with a hat that makes a firm ‘flip’ sound to attract attention from
others.
The blue character is concerned
with pleasing others, playing a tune from a music box to entertain viewers.
The yellow character is a fun, networking
person who engages other people by making an electronic sound through moving
the ‘slinkies’ which the viewer can listen to.
