The Taiknam Hat designed by Ricardo Nascimento, Ebru Kurbak and Fabiana Shizue, is a kinetic headpiece that responds to radio signals in the environment by moving its feathers. The intention is to visually communicate and raise awareness of the electromagnetic radiation which surrounds us and is a metaphor to express the human body’s irritation towards the waves. The effects of these waves have already been shown to cause disturbance among birds (which would also give reason for this idea being expressed through a feather hat).
