CFP: SOCIAL FABRICS - LEF Exhibition
http://www.socialfabrics.org
Submissions are invited for wearable technology proposals for an
event-style exhibition of wearable technology art, to be held at the
College Art Association 2008 Annual Meeting in Dallas, Texas.
Social Fabrics will explore artists' creative deployment of mobile,
socially interconnective media as wearable attire or personal
accoutrements. This event-style exhibition, curated by Patrick
Lichty and Susan Ryan, will demonstrate convergences between fashion
as expression/statement, and the phenomenology of "network culture."
Works presented will include technological attire and accessories, as
well as works that engage the implications of our contemporary media
and fashion driven lifestyles.
Submitted works should be functional (not concept projects) and able
to be withstand some level of demonstration by the time of the show.
Designers (or their representatives) are expected to appear in person
to present their work.
Please submit:
-Title of work
-Names and email addresses of all designers
-Brief description of work including
(1) How it interacts with others and/or creates or comments on the
digitally enhanced social sphere;
(2) What technologies are utilized; and
(3) How it can be displayed at a modified runway style presentation; and
(4) Whether or not the artist or an agent (named) can commit to
participating in the event in Dallas, Texas, on February 22.
-Photos/sketches/video of project and its presentation (if available)
-Indicate whether or not you would be willing to have visuals from
your project appear on the exhibition website
Please email your submission as a single PDF (photos embedded) to:
mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Video can be sent separately or it can be viewed by us on a website,

Submission Deadline: October 15 midnight CST: The submissions will be
