What is it?
Lust is defined as an intense longing or desire commonly associated with sexuality. Once considered a sin to lust or want, in a commodity driven society this act is no longer damned rather it is encouraged. With this changing of the interpretation of lust a new trend in what we as a society desires has developed influenced by commodity, and technology. Culturally we no longer lust for the carnal the flesh, but for brand names, icons of status displayed on clothing and hardware.

As a reaction to this hard-edged lust we have developed a gaming device that blends technological lust with a program to reawaken carnal lust. Playing on computer hardware aesthetic and erotic parts and shapes of the body Tecnolust seeks to merge the softness of skin with the hard lines of consumer electronics. TecnoLust is a garment that incorporates the use of soft technology™ to go beyond present day wearables. By not drawing a line between hardware and clothing, this garment becomes one and the same merging technology into a softer more touchable zone.

TecnoLust is a gaming device taking advantage of wireless Internet technology. Worn as an undergarment, as a player you are able to travel out of the virtual world of the computer to find and play with your opponents

TecnoLust is a game of the senses, of body erotic zones that are lit up by electric caresses. Once you have strapped in it is hard to imagine how your life both virtual and real can be the same. Upon entering the game you select the mode you want to play within, this sends out a frequency which attracts other players set on the same game and frequency. When you encounter another participant a game of electronic caresses begin where pulses are sent back and forth electronically to arouse the senses.
