This latex-clad cyborg educates, elucidates, and entertains as she parades models down the runway garbed in the latest functional tech gear and aesthetic cyber wear. The runway includes models from internationally known alternative model agencies, Wicked Talent and Dragon Talent.
This year's event also marks the first DIY (Do-It-Yourself) Wearables Workshop on Monday, August 2nd 10:00am-3:00pm. The workshop allows visitors to participate in a competition of building and developing your own cyber-fashion piece. A jury including the workshop team and CyberFashion producers will select the best project and allow the artist to present it on the runway the night of the show.
CyberFashion 0100 is produced by Alex Lightman and Isa Gordon. Lightman originated “Brave New Unwired World”, the first show to introduce cyber-fashion, and is the CEO of Charmed Technology, one of the first wearable-computing companies aiming to incorporate wireless Internet into fashion and lifestyle: connecting people via eyeglasses, necklaces, or even a simple charm on a bracelet.
Gordon created the first SIGGRAPH CyberFashion Show in 2002, and has also served as director and host each year. Gordon is the artistic director of the Psymbiote Project, a creative cybernetics research collaboration that explores the cultural, theoretical, and practical applications of being cyborg.
