C.O.P Suit was inspired by the COP15 climate summit. The brief was to propose solutions for, or to comment on, the ongoing climate debate – using wearable technology and design as a medium.
The C.O.P Suit is an experiment in personal protest wear, designed to address the by now almost ritualised stand-offs between police and demonstrators – what has ironically been described as the ‘folk dance of disorder’. The suit is composed of an armored protection sleeve connected to a megaphone-mounted helmet, offering protection as well as the possibility of voicing commands, orders or simply generating noise. The suit is designed as a purposefully ambiguous and (slightly) ironic artifact, echoing the fetishistic visual language of protesters and police alike – a comment on the similarity of the means each side employs.
The C.O.P suit is designed to be completely self-sustainable – utilising kinetic energy from common gestures in a protest situation (the fist thrust triumphantly into the air, the swinging of a baton or the force of a strike to the armor) to power the megaphone, making rioting hard on the ears, but easy on the conscience.
環保示威內衣為大聲公充電
在民主社會中，市民有上街示威抗議和平表達訴求的權利，但在不少「大場面」警察會穿上全套防暴裝備應付示威者，雙方很容易發生推撞而造成意外。
揮動手臂 自動發電
丹麥有設計學院學生以別出心裁構思，為示威人士設計個人示威戰衣，戰衣結合了環保能源裝置，讓大聲公的電源「長叫長有」，包保口號的聲浪可抵受警方所播的古典音樂。
這套示威戰衣名為C.O.P. Suit，戰衣包括一頂裝有大聲公的頭盔及一件裝在右臂上的臂甲，臂甲與頭盔之間以電線相連，手臂格擋或揮動時，會牽動衣內的自動發電裝置，產生電力供應到大聲公的儲電池。只要用家保持活動，大聲公的電源就會得到無限供應。
