Hot Flash Dance Clash is an interactive game and dance battle by affect lab. By coming together on the dance floor, the project highlights the physical experiences of people with cycles and celebrates them.

Hot Flash Dance Clash

Hot Flash Dance Clash is a quantified and embodied experience of temperature changes. How does embodied data move between the individual and the collective? And how does this intimate data connect or disrupt the connection we have with our bodies?

Inspired by data tracking of menstruating and menopausal bodies, we’ve been hacking temperature sensors with our extraordinary collaborators. Together with affect lab, feminist interaction designer Patsy Nagtzaam has been creating cyborg-style heat-sensor wearables that sync with a data collector developed by creative coder Frank Bosma. These sensors will be worn during the dance session, allowing participants to track their own (and collective) body temperature in real time. To really set the vibe, DJ and designer Guanyan Wu will be igniting the dance floor.
