Primitive, the gallery/shop/party planners will be holding this collaborative exhibition at the Tank headquarters with the New York based artist Adam Harvey and the fashion designer Johanna Bloomfield entitled “Stealth Wear: New Designs for Counter Surveillance” on January 17th.

This exhibition will present new designs that tackle some of the most pressing and sophisticated forms of surveillance today.
This will include:
The anti-drone hoodie and anti-drone scarf: garments designed to thwart thermal imaging, a technology used widely by UAVs.

The XX-shirt: a x-ray shielding print in the shape of a heart, that protects your heart from x-ray radiation

The Off Pocket: an anti-phone accessory that allows you to instantly zero out your phone’s signal

Accompanying each project will be videos and tests revealing the process behind each technology and counter technology.

The opening will happen on:
Thursday January 17th, 2013, 6pm
Tank Magazine
91-93 Great Portland Street
London W1W 7NX
