It showcase various artist who have used fabrication to visualize various forms of data. Through this article,
I was inspired by two projects:</p>
<h4>Human sensor by Kasia Molga</h4>
<h4>Tremor by Melissa Coleman (NL/UK) and Leonie Smelt (NL)</h4>

<p>Also, I think my idea clicked when I watched performance and sculpture artist Nick Cave present his work and how he created his sound suits.
The emotion he was fillings and the questions he was asking when he created me inspired me to go forward to create a suit using knit and

<h2>Black Women Wage Gap</h2>
<p>I wanted my focus for this project is to develop a wearable design focus on the work and energy of Black women by showcasing the wage gap.</p>
<p>Black and Brown women make less than their white women counterparts whend oing the same job. They also get less access to education, viable job opportunities, and working
conditions due to both race and class.</p>
<blockquote cite="https://www.aauw.org/research/the-simple-truth-about-the-gender-pay-gap/">
The gender pay gap is the gap between what men and women are paid. Most commonly, it refers to the median annual pay of all women who work full time and year-round, compared to the pay of a similar cohort of men.
</blockquote>
<h4>As of 2017, these are some of the statistics for Wage Gap between different demographics compared to white man:</h4>
<ul>
<li>white women make 77 cents</li>
<li>Black men make 77 cents</li>
<li>Asian women make 85 cents</li>
<li>Black women make 66 cents</li>
<li>Hispanic/Latina women make 63 cents</li>
</ul>
<blockquote cite="https://iwpr.org/issue/employment-education-economic-change/pay-equity-discrimination/">
It will take 41 years—or until 2059—for women to finally reach pay parity. For women of color, the rate of change is even slower:
Hispanic women will have to wait until 2224 and Black women will wait until 2119 for equal pay.

<p>Also this data, doesn't include or consider microaggression and emotional labour that women of color especially Black women face in white working spaces. </p>

<h2>Energy Suit </h2>
<p>My initial design was to create a body suit using modular fashion and wearable technology. In order to extend and finalize my idea, I want to be able to
create an energy suit using modular design and wearable technology. </p>
<p>The energy suit will be showcasing the energy one is given to reach compared to the level of energy for energy in the workplace for different demographics.</p>

<p>The materials I think I will need to showcase this project (so far):</p>
<ul>
<li>Laser Cutter</li>
<li>Stretchable Cloth</li>
<li>Lilypad Arduino</li>
<li>Wires</li>
<li>Thermochromatic coloring</li>
<li>LEDs</li>
<li>Sensor to sense movement/motion</li>
<li>Conductive Thread</li>
</ul>
<p>My goal is to showcase the user how much energy that Black women put into various types of work with less pay.</p>
</div>
<div class = "next_container">
<h2>Next Steps</h2>
<p>The next step is to develop paper and fabric prototype to see if this will be feasible to do with the data. I want to be able to create smaller smocks of the project and connect electronics to them to see how they will react to a particular
data. </p>
<p>I want to use modular design to develop an atheltic jacket and so I want to be able to start making paper and cloth cut outs and to finalize my initial sketches. I also need to
start testing out the feasibility of using either thermochromatic paint/coloring or LEDs for this project.</p>
