"Soundsuits!"

Art which is also a costume of sorts created by artist and dancer Nick Cave. Soundsuits are art. They are also sound. 

Created of all manner of materials, from twigs to toys to buttons and rugs, Soundsuits are a wearable collage. And when worn, the resulting... creature... is transformed. Movement causes sound, rustling, clanging, swooshing.

Visual art.

Dance.

Performance art. 

Check out these excellent, short videos on Soundsuits, here and here and here.
