“We are at the start of wearables and they don’t quite work with all my outfits. One of the important things – either the wearables have to be invisible or fashionable, especially if you want to wear [them] 24/7.”
– Becky Ho, President and CEO of PNI Sensor Corporation
As wearable technology continues to gain interest among designers, engineers, scientists and innovators, there is a growing opportunity on the design and aesthetics of wearable products. From watches to glasses, clothing and even sensor-embedded devices, this sector will continue to develop and integrate into people’s life.
Text-iles & Intertextuality – The Exhibition Series explores ideas and possibilities around textiles, fabrics and clothing. The series will feature works from Visiting Assistant Professor Galina Mihaleva and her students from Surface Design (DR2007) and Technology, Art & Fashion (DA9004) classes.
