Brooches for the technological age

These brooches are made from old computer keyboard keys. I made them at the end of '07 for an exhibition at Bean Bag Bohemia.
I really enjoy this design, there is just one thing i have noticed. When i wear them, people automaticly try to press them, as you would if it was on a normal keyboard. At the same time i was thinking about incorporating LED's into the brooches. I then realised that i had to put these two ideas together. So the idea was to create a circuit, within the key, so that when you press the key, the LED would turn on.

What about a belt with keys? You could form random words with the keys on the belt. Or for a good dose of sexual connotation, a big ENTER key as a buckle.
