Wearable Technology

From next Monday 15th January, the Australian Network for Art & Technology are running a lab called reSkin to develop prototypes of wearable technology. Examples of the technology include Kukkia Dress (Joanna Berzowka)the ‘Kukkia’ dress designed by Joanna Berzowska (pictured). The dress uses Nitinol embedded in fabric flowers as a way of enabling the flowers to open and close. The reSkin lab is followed by the WearNow Symposium on Saturday 3rd February in Canberra. I am looking forward to attending the symposium and seeing how technology and creativity combine, and what role there is for nanotechnology.
