ABSTRACT
As wearable technology becomes more commonplace, it is changing our perception of human subjectivity, creating new concepts of identity, new systems of behaviour and extensions of the body itself.
Cloth has always acted as an interface between the body and the external world. Wearables are no exception. They offer ample opportunities for the creation of intelligent clothing that perform[s] functions according to the body’s needs and requirements, and that adapts to the environments.
(Tao 2005: 9)
