New book from edition monochrom: "TECHNOSENSUAL -- Where Fashion Meets Technology"
"TECHNOSENSUAL. where fashion meets technology" presents electronic couture created by international haute-tech designers and engineers and celebrates the variety and growing significance of electronic couture within the field of fashion and technology. As the selected projects showcase their beauty, entertain the audience with flirtation and stories, enhance the body with a new layer of interactivity, or simply embrace the poetics that electronics and mechanics have to offer, they also create a new platform from which questions arise. In a future where electronics are predicted to be embedded in everyday objects, like our surroundings and garments, what changes will appear? And, perhaps most pertinently, how will we socialize in our world when we are supervised by technology? By taking a close look at the world of technologically enhanced garments, TECHNOSENSUAL's aim is to explore the social, emotional, psychological and cultural impacts these wearable and sensory technologies can have on our society. The published 'TECHNOSENSUAL. where fashion meets technology' catalog functions as an reference; an informing overview of the pieces on display, behind-the-scenes commentary by a selection of artist-in-residency's, and an inside look into the set-up phase of the exhibition. And is an playful introduction and a new approach to 'intelligent fashion' that possibly dominates the new century.

Roboexotica 2012 on the Make Blog
John Baichtal recommends Roboexotica on the Make Blog.
Until what seems almost recently, no attempts had been made to publicly discuss the role of Cocktail Robotics as an index for the integration of technological innovations into the human Lebenswelt, or to document the increasing occurrence of radical hedonism in man-machine communication. Roboexotica is an attempt to fill this vacuum. It is the first and, inevitably, the leading festival concerned with cocktail robotics world-wide. A micro mechanical change of paradigm in the age of borderless capital. Alan Turing would doubtless test this out.
The festival is this weekend, December 6-9, and is being held in Vienna, Austria. Events include a symposium, a workshopp, a presentation of cocktail robots, as well as an awards gala.

It's time for Roboexotica 2012
Roboexotica is the annual festival where scientists, researchers,
computer experts and artists from all over the world build cocktail
robots and discuss technological innovation, futurology and science
fiction.Until recently, no attempts had been made to publicly discuss
the role
of cocktail robotics as an index for the integration of technological
innovations into the human Lebenswelt, or to document the
increasing occurrence of radical hedonism in man-machine communication.
Roboexotica is an attempt to fill this vacuum. It is the first and,
inevitably, the leading festival concerned with cocktail robotics
world-wide. A micro mechanical change of paradigm in the age of
borderless capital. Alan Turing would doubtless test this out. Cheers!
Roboexotica is a coproduction of monochrom, Shifz and the Bureau for Philosophy.
December 6-9, 2012 in Vienna, Austria.
