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.

Canadian Sound Artist Jean-Pierre Gautier’s mobile sound installations express the delights of disorder. Objects such as tools, appliances, cleaning equipments, music instruments become strangely haunted, they move and produce sound freely. The viewer in contact with his work triggers a chain of event that is never predictable. His objects evolve in space with gracious movement and in a playful way, trying to get free of their physical and spatial limitations.
