With the emergence of fashion technology, clothing is no longer passively providing us comfort and protection. Interactive garments and wearables are active interfaces that are changing the way we think and communicate. Artist ZHANG Yuchen will show you how cutting edge designers and artists are using principles of interaction design to rethink garment and wearable design.
Interaction Design in Fashion Technology is the inaugural talk of a series of events continuously powered by CAC_LAB. Through this series of events, CAC_LAB enables dialogues between artists, academics and technologists with unique visions on the field of new media art and currently active in the world of Research and Creation.
