In 2007 the Australian Network for Art and Technology (ANAT)
intertwined the practices of media arts and sound design, textile and
weaving, jewellery, object and fashion design to produce the reSkin
Wearable Technology Lab. This collaborative project of ANAT, the
Australian National University School of Art, the Centre for New Media
Arts (CNMA) and Craft Australia, placed jewellers and fashion designers
with new media artists in an intensive three week research and
development lab.
The Lab aimed to provide a framework for examining and reflecting on futureistic vision that artefacts worn on the body will increasingly be “smart”, will “think, and will augment communication.
Artists participating included Andrea Fisher, Ben Denham, Alison Lewis, Catherine Truman, Cecilia Heffer, Clem Baker-Finch, Daniel Kojta, High Tea With Mrs Woo, Elliat Rich, Danielle Wilde, John Duckworth, Tania Fox, Michael Yuen, Robin Petterd, Sarah Kettley, Sean O’Connell, Leah Heiss, Somaya Langley & Keith Armstrong.
