LED Matrix Mask

Lumen Couture is an affordable, durable, wearable, sustainable technology fashion company, founded by Chelsea Klukas, a Canadian based in Seattle. Her programmable LED text, image, and voice display mask is controlled from a cell phone. She explains: “As a way to give back, I donated proceeds from sales from launch until June to The Who COVID-19 relief and raised nearly $5K USD.” The mask was worn for protests and political activism. When it was worn by BLM protestors, she was attacked by trolls on her social media account.
