Anouk Wipprecht - Hardware Couture
A talk about the merge of fashion and technology by fashiontech designer Anouk WipprechtDutch based designer Anouk Wipprecht is a rising star in the emerging field of "fashionable technology" a rare combination of sartorial knowhow combined with engineering smarts and style, she has in a very short period created an impressive body of tech-enhanced designs bringing together fashion and technology in an unusual way. She creates technological couture; with background in fashion design combined with engineering, science and interaction design, she creates systems around the body that tend towards artificial intelligence; projected as 'host' systems on the human body, her designs move, breath, and react to the environment around them. Anouk is currently based in Vienna/Austria, and travels between Amsterdam (NL) Los Angeles (USA) San Francisco (USA) and Montreal (CA).
Mark Pesce and Tony Parisi - VRML 20!
Full CircleTwenty years ago we invented a way to visualize the still very new (and still very small) World Wide Web. We believed that by making the Web a visible, tangible place, VRML would make it easier for people to understand and use.
Those last twenty years have seen the Internet eat everything in its path. All of human knowledge, culture, commerce, art - it's all gone down its pie-hole, now shared among the two-billion-plus individuals with Internet access. As it turned out, we didn't need to visualize it; it happened anyway.
Now, the Internet is eating the real world, too. The number of connected devices in our lives has grown from one, just a handful of years ago, to tens today, and will soon reach into the hundreds. That's real complexity, in the real world.
The virtual world was never meant to be just imaginary. It's meant to be a mirror held up to the real world, revealing its capabilities, and providing affordances to manipulate them.
Twenty years after they created the web's first 3D cyberbanana, VRML co-inventors Tony Parisi and Mark Pesce are reaching through the virtual world, into the real, making tangible the intense interior of the connected world, marrying Tony's web-changing work with WebGL to Mark's innovations in the Internet-of-Everything.
The future is back. Come and have a play
