Public Fashion Orchestra, Network Ideologies Alexandra Von Feldmann fashion house, fashion, intelligent clothes, buy, sell
The "Public Fashion Orchestra" is a fashion house which sells intelligent clothes and their behaviours. All clothes of this brand are networked with each other and when in range are able to share designs and eventually other data; the fashion designer is able to feed new designs and behaviours into the system. The clothes do not only receive, transmit, transform and show the data, they also remember and thereby limit it: once the clothes are "full", they cannot participate in the network anymore unless you get rid of their data manually: do the laundry!
re: skin Mary Flanagan 2002 skin, book, publication, body, technology, vision
In re: skin, scholars, essayists and short story writers offer their perspectives on skin's boundary and surface, as metaphor and physical reality. The twenty-first century and its attendant technology call for a new investigation of the intersection of body, skin, and technology. These cutting-edge writings address themes of skin and bodily transformation in an era in which we are able not only to modify our own skins by plastic surgery, tattooing, skin graft art, and other methods but to cross skins, merging with other bodies or colonizing multiple bodies.

Suzi Webster Suzi Webster new media, installation, artist, critique
As a new media installation artist, Suzi Webster's practice is concerned with exploring and critiquing the ways in which technologies, specifically but not solely digital technologies, impact and shape our experiences of being human. In particular, Webster is excited by the possibilities offered by digital media to create work that is collaborative, responsive and dynamic, rather than fixed and static, and that undermines traditional fine art distinctions based on medium specificity. Her current research interests center around wearables that explore intersections between sculpture and performance, fashion and computing, the body and its context, public and private, in a critical way.

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.
