jenny chowdhury presented her notorious ‘intimate controllers’ at the siggraph 2007 unravel fashion show. even though the piece is seems meant to help transgress shyness in a twister-like way, she clearly feels that it should only be used ‘by couples already in an intimate relationship.’ from the exhibition catalogue:

Intimate Controllers is a platform where video games are played by couples touching each other. The platform consists of two controllers, a bra for the female player and boxer shorts for the male player. Each controller is embedded with 6 sensors placed with varying degrees of intimacy in relation to the body part with which they correspond. Players must pass game levels together and in doing so, game play results in increasingly intimate positioning.
