Call for entries for the next Cybernetic Garment conference in
Australia next April:
Subject: Cybernetic garments conference call
The space between conference and associated events will centre
on the new creative and theoretical potentialities that have
emerged from the blurring of the boundaries between art,
fashion, textiles and other creative/design
disciplines. It will provide an international forum for the
presentation of new ideas, current research and an in-depth
exchange of ideas and experiences.
One particular focus of the conference will be the potential
and consequences of the uptake of 'new' technologies and
techniques (bio, nano, digital, other) in the creation of
'cybernetic garments', utilising re oriented notions of
'garment', 'technology' and 'cybernetic'. In this context, a
'garment' is anything worn close to the body, and so includes
sunglasses, jewellery, hair pieces and cosmetics. The
comparatively recent, but now ubiquitous digital devices -
mobile phones, cameras,identity/credit cards, make explicit the
cybernetic relation between humans and garments, since they are
'active' and of a 'new' technology. Proposals are invited for
papers, panels, presentations and displayable
artefacts/artworks that explore the impact of new technology
and techniques in the design of active 'cybernetic' garments.
Deadline: 30 September
