If the bag is customary for an accessory to the dress female subject, in the case of ' Stockmarket Skirt 'it is precisely the stock market to determine the characteristics of the dress. The installation of the media artist Nancy Paterson, in fact, staged 'Judy', formal name of the dummy with a dress whose hem is changed dynamically depending on the performance of the Stock Exchange. The 'skirt' in question changes depending on length of Yahoo Inc. that prices rise or fall in the stock market. The values ​​are required to the Internet every five seconds and processed through a PERL Script customized. The results are transformed into impulses that activate a mechanism, similar to the driving of the curtains of the theater stage, able to raise or lower the hem of the dress. The trend of the data is shown on five monitors that surround 'Judy', as well as the movement of the skirt is monitored by a camera connected to the website of Patterson. The principle behind the project is that of the 'Wall Street Lore' expressed by Morris and Gauss: the market is better the more you show your legs. In times of crisis and restriction, in fact, the edges of the women's clothes are lowered and the color disappears, while in the growth phase, or at the top of an economic cycle, skirts and pants become shorts and multicolored. According to the author the meaning is twofold in which you can understand his work. The first is that of 'Cyberfeminist Fashion Statement' that says how much easier to get rid of roles related to gender in a virtual environment rather than in the real world, in which women are objects and consumers, while men, hidden behind the technology, determine the economy rather than suffering. The second meaning, however, enhances the potential of the Internet emphasizing the interactivity of the project. Nestled in the flow of information, in fact, the viewer is not passive voyeur actor but which can affect the performance of the market, and therefore the extent of the skirt, for instance by selling and buying shares online. If the interpretation is in the tradition of feminist cultural studies, in the school where it formed the Canadian Paterson, that the convergence is common address for media artists who are creating these days. The installation, however, shows very original if seen in the context of fashion exhibitions. is indeed very timely to attempt to make the exhibitions dedicated to interactive fashion. A good example is Jerwood: Fashion, Film and Fiction organized at the Wapping Project in London, where interactivity is reduced solely to the possibility that visitors have to try on clothes. The 'Stock Market Skirt' can not be worn because the fit would require expensive modifications to the mechanical structure, as well as a wireless connection between your computer and motor. But if you could develop the project in this sense, then, the 'interactive fashion' would no longer be an intention as an interesting fact. . Hacktivism
