In response to the rise of paparazzi I've created an interactive clutch bag that communicates the desire to not be photographed. When it detects a camera flash it responds with another flash that obscures the photo. I think it's important for everyone to realize the worth of their own image and to be able to protect that. The goal of anti-paparazzi fashion is to build a two-way communication between the photographer and subject.

Audience
Revelers, denizens, celebrities

User Scenario
Turn on the bag
Hold it vertically
Point it at a photographer
When they fire their flash the bag will flash back at their lens, protecting your identity

Implementation
The anti-paparazzi clutch bag comprises a system of light-detecting circuit, a tilt sensor, and an array of super bright LEDs, powered by AA batteries.
