Waldemeyer Creates Costumes for OK Go
OK Go
Robotics engineer Moritz Waldemeyer has designed stage costumes for the rock quartet OK Go, which turn each of the members into a moving light show. For the design, which was inspired by slot machines in Las Vegas casinos, Waldemeyer stitched thousands of LEDs into each member’s jacket; when the group appears on stage, the lights scroll through a sequence that spell out the letters of the band’s name.
The costumes were first shown on Nov. 22 at the KOKO nightclub in London. Waldemeyer, whose work is a fusion of technology, art, fashion, and design, has previously collaborated with Phillippe Starck, Zaha Hadid, Thomas Heatherwick, and Hussein Chalayan.
