In a society obsessed with digitally sharing our experiences as soon as we can, are we putting our data at risk by being so public about everything? This is a question that seems to be becoming increasingly pertinent and it appears that the more we're monitored, the less we want to be seen.  
  
Fashion designers are beginning to touch on this issue with collections that feature anti-surveillance technology. We recently saw Kunihiko Morinaga collaboratively create conceptual fashion line [Focus](https://www.prote.in/en/feed/2014/05/focus?ref=protein.xyz), which shields the wearer from electromagnetic waves and blocks phone signal, and Ji Won Jun who designed a [Data Vaporiser backpack](https://www.prote.in/en/feed/2014/06/data-vaporiser?ref=protein.xyz) to extinguish the wearer's data.   
  
Now [Coop Himmelb(l)au](http://www.coop-himmelblau.at/?ref=protein.xyz), an Austrian architecture company have created the [Jammer Coat](http://www.coop-himmelblau.at/architecture/projects/chbl-jammer-coat?ref=protein.xyz), a piece of clothing that protects the wearer from having their data collected without their knowledge. By blocking radio waves with metallic fabrics, phones, tablets and other tech tools are shielded from tracking devices.   
  
The coat was created for an exhibition titled Abiti da Lavoro, which will open at Milan's [Triennale Design Museum](http://www.triennale.it/en/?ref=protein.xyz) at the end of this month.
