<img src="img/Kostova_100.jpg" align="left" border="0">As media becomes a more intuitive part of our experience as humans and the technologies themselves vanish into furniture and walls as well as pockets and fabrics, wearable technology art will continue to do the opposite: to make connections with the palpable, the fantastic, the self-consciously mechanistic, and the intractably organic aspects of the body as dynamic interface. View the <strong>Social Fabrics: Wearable + Media + Interconnectivity</strong> gallery curated by Susan Ryan on Leonardo On-Line (also available in the current print issue <em>Leonardo</em> 42:2, April 2009). <a href="http://leonardo.info/gallery/index.html">FIND OUT MORE</a>
