If you suppose that there is a spectrum of ways that we adapt ourselves to our environment, then “architecture” might be at one end, and “cyborg” (whether psychotropic or technological) could be at the other.\u00a0 In between, there would be “clothing”.\u00a0 And if you really want to confuse the three and scramble your simplistic understanding of that spectrum, you talk about wearable architecture<\/a>.<\/p>\n

So I couldn’t let Cyborg Month<\/a> pass without mentioning Mary Mattingly’s absolutely fantastic “Wearable Homes”<\/a>.\u00a0 I got in touch with Tim Maly and we ended up co-writing a post for Quiet Babylon<\/em>, “Wearable Ethics”<\/a>:<\/p>\n

…\u201cWearable Homes\u201d is a project \u2013 part architecture, part photography, part design fiction, part clothing (fashion <\/em>is not quite the right word here) \u2013 which sits at that confused junction between cyborgs and architecture.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Anyways, the post is (thanks to Tim) about a good bit more than just Wearable Homes, so read it<\/a>.\u00a0 And if you want more Wearable Homes, you might enjoy this old Pruned<\/em> post<\/a>, and Mattingly’s website<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
