17 May - 17 August 2004: Dressware project

The SleepingBagDress prototype by Ana Rewakowicz involves a creation of multipurpose inflatable dress that through inflation can change and adapt to different situations and environments. Following the legacy of Archigram and Michael Webb's Suitaloon and Cushicle, Ana's concept evolves around the idea of clothing as portable architecture and brings our individual needs to the basic, everyday experience of survival and "you never know WEAR?" situations.

Working on a remote location in the Belgian Ardennes, the workshop participants and FoAM collaborators formed a heterogeneous group of artists and technologists working together towards a common goal: designing a compelling, responsive experience by fusing the digital with the physical worlds. During the workshop, interactive media worlds were designed, using a mixture of open source tools including Blender, Audacity, PD and several gaming engines. The worlds were connected to the 'physical reality' through electronic interfaces.
