WEARABLE TECHNOLOGY ART EVENT: SOCIAL FABRICS: ART + MEDIA +
INTERCONNECTIVITY
SOCIAL FABRICS will explore artists' creative deployment of mobile,
socially interconnective media as wearable attire. SOCIAL FABRICS
will emphasize convergences between individual expression and
statement making, on the one hand, and the phenomenology of "network
society" on the other. Technological garments or accessories will be
presented as will works that comment on, or critique, our digital
media-infused and fashion driven lifestyles. Works will be presented
by artists from all over the United States and Canada and countries
abroad including Scotland, Australia, and Malaysia.
