Lady Gaga VMAs Cosplay: Making The LED Matrix Mask #Cosplay #Wearables @TechnoChic_ @adafruit

TechnoChic makes Lady Gaga’s sound-reactive LED Matrix Mask from the 2020 VMAs.

In this build, I uncover the actual materials used in Gaga’s mask and tweak the design to be a simpler version that’s more appropriate for cosplay.

To complete the costume, I also made Gaga’s bodysuit, wig and accessories, and a coordinating “Brain Piano” costume. I’ll be making a video about how I made each.

The build borrows from the maker of Gaga’s mask, using Adafruit DotStar LED matrices, a microphone and an Adafruit ItsyBitsy M4 board to process it all. Absolutely fantastic & made easier with some Adafruit tutorial help.

See the video below for details.
