Publications

New Leonardo Gallery Section
Social Fabrics: Wearable + Media + Interconnectivity
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 Social  
Fabrics: Wearable + Media + Interconnectivity gallery curated by  
Susan Ryan on Leonardo On-Line (also available in the current print  
issue Leonardo 42:2, April 2009). FIND OUT MORE
