Smart Products (Estonian Academy of Arts ) school, art, academy
We live in remarkable time, often not taking note of what is happening around us, and how much it is changing while we watch. Digitalisation, the quiet infi ltration of artifi cial intelligence into everyday objects and our environment is one of the most substantial changes which appears to be quite natural. Things become smart ñ smart home, smart door, smart toothbrushÖ This smartness is generally perceived as the ability of objects to evaluate the environment and what is going on there realistically and to guide processes, if need arises ñ be it textile which responds to our body heat and adjusts its structure accordingly, or an airport concourse which delicately and personallyguides us to the right place according to the ticket in our pocket.
Smart Second Skin Dress Jenny Tillotson human biology, garment, wearer, scents, new interactive fabric, senses, body's circulatin system, wearable, micro mechanisms, communication system, aromatic messages, body
The dress mimics the body's circulation system, the senses and scent glands. The veins and arteries flow freely as the new interactive fabric emitting a selection of scents depending on your mood. It has its own nervous system, which allows the wearer to control the emotional wellbeing of the garment. Using a theory that human biology can be modelled as micro mechanisms - biological functions such as skin, organs and a beat of a pulsating heart can be miniaturised forming the basis of an integrated communication system so that it rivals nature's own capillaries. Aromatic messages are actively 'pulsed' electronically through a cabling system, to key points of the body in order to activate the smell centre.

Studio subTela Barbara Layne (Hexagram Institute) institute, research, visual art, engineering, intelligent clothing, smart fabrics
Barbara Layne is the Director of Studio subTela at the Hexagram Institute where she works with a team of graduate students from Visual Arts and Engineering at Concordia University and a variety of international collaborators. The Studio is focused on the development of intelligent cloth structures for the creation of artistic, performative and functional textiles. Natural materials are woven in alongside microcomputers and sensors to create surfaces that are receptive and responsive to external stimuli. Controllable arrays of Light Emitting Diodes present changing patterns and texts through the structure of cloth. Wireless transmission systems have also been developed to support real time communication. In both wearable systems and site related installations, textiles are used to address the social dynamic of fabric and human interaction.

Varitex (Varitex) company, smart materials, medical equipment, research
Van oudsher is Varitex nauw verbonden met de flebologie. Zo werd de eerste Varitex maatkous ontwikkeld voor de praktijk van pionier H.R. van de Molen. Varitex heeft altijd een actief en stimulerend beleid gevoerd ten aanzien van wetenschappelijk onderzoek en de publicatie daarvan. Vanaf de oprichting onderkende Varitex dat productie van elastische kousen samen moet gaan met de ontwikkeling van de compressietherapie. Zo werden de eerste drukmetingen al in 1958 met behulp van TNO apparatuur bij Varitex verricht. Deze metingen zouden de basis leggen voor de officiële indeling in de klassen 1 tot 4. Momenteel levert Varitex zelf aangepaste apparatuur voor drukmeting aan TNO en fabrikanten van elastische kousen. Vanuit deze taakopvatting en de ontwikkelde kennis op het gebied van compressietherapie, is Varitex nauw betrokken bij de nationale en internationale ontwikkelingen op het gebied van regelgeving en standaardisering. Vanzelfsprekend is een goede compressietherapie afhankelijk van het juist instellen en uitvoeren van die behandeling. Daarom beschouwt Varitex het instrueren en opleiden van ieder die bij de behandeling betrokken is, als een essentieel onderdeel van haar taak.
