REINVENTING CLOTHING.....and the body!
The goal of the fashion show is to reinvent what we think about clothing and the body...from the perspectives that include physical, psychological, social, technological, educational and aesthetic.
ENDANGERED Senses: by Gemma Shusterman (MIT MEDIA LAB masters student) is an elephant -- yep ELEPHANT-inspired costsume that picks up infrasonic and seismic vibrations allowing humans to experience the sensation of "being an elephant" --- hmmm infrasonic and seismic vibrations-- I think we call that an earthquake in California!
