Clothing was among the first cultural and technological achievements of the
human. Since its first intention as a second skin, communication
technologies and smart materials dramatically changed its use.

Clothing itself became an interface to the digital space which surrounds us.

The workshop will show how textiles and technology appear in artistic
practices and will introduce materials and techniques in use and in
research.

In the workshop the participants will work and experiment on an expanded
idea of fashion and technology.

Especially participants who already attended the previous workshops will be
able to apply their ideas and skills on the very fabric of society.
