ââŚÂ Neclumi, an app that pairs with a picoprojector, attached to a shirt collar, to shine little light tattoos on the wearerâs neck, like a glow-in-the-dark choker necklace.â
Neclumi is a necklace that you canât touch, or buy, or get insured. Rather, itâs a pattern of tiny light projections that beam onto the wearerâs neck, and according to Neclumiâs inventor, its presence on a jewelry blog sparked some backlash. Itâs not silver or gold, reasoned the commenters, so itâs not jewelry. [âŚ]
âWe have less and less of our own things,â says Jakub Kozniewski, one of four artists that make up panGenerator. âWe donât have books, we have data that lives in the cloud. We donât have CD cases for music, itâs all streamed through Spotify. With the same logic you could stream jewelry, or treat it like software âŚÂ
âI think the necklace is poetic, thereâs something romantic thereâa bigger trend apart from the jewelry.â
