CFP: SOCIAL FABRICS - LEF Exhibition 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.
