Lecture on "body-worn technologies" by Danielle Wilde
23 October 2010
Australian Artist, Danielle Wilde will be speaking at Yamaguchi Center for Arts and Media about clothing and technology. Wilde is completing her PhD at Monash University in Fine Art, and at Australia's national scientific research organization, and currently undertaking her research at The University of Tokyo in the Ishikawa Komuro Laboratory's Meta Perception Group.
Wilde has been exploring body-worn and wearable technologies for more than a decade in different parts of the world. The focus of her work is to discover how technology might be paired with the body to create enjoyable and meaningful ways to engage our bodies and thereby transform our lives.
The lecture will serve as an occasion to re-evaluate what we take for granted in relation to technology and the body, and also to imagine how future technologies might turn people's everyday lives into something completely new and different.
