Nieuw boek van Sabine Seymour, die eerder Fashionable technology : the intersection of design, fashion, science and technology / Sabine Seymour. – Wien [etc.] : Springer, 2008 schreef (ook aanwezig in de bibliotheek Textielmuseum). Voor de geeks onder de textielontwerpers. Over hoe technologie steeds meer verbonden is met voorwerpen / kleding om ons heen.
Dr. Seymour is directeur van het Fashionable Technology Lab aan de Parsons, The New School for Design in New York and geeft les aan verschillende instituten over de hele wereld.
Uit het boek:
‘The term fashion’able technology refers to technology with an aesthetic appeal. The geek chic of the mid to late 90s and the appearance of wearable computing on a larger scale called for style, fashion and aesthetics. The focus is on ‘able’ with the intention of making technology fashionable and pleasant. Particularly, the emerging of virtual and physical spaces demands stylish avatars that live in both realities. Fashionable technology is associated with an array of discplines in the fields of design and technology that frequenlty intersect. The significance of fashionable technology as an emerging field is apparent.’
