Joanna Berzowska speaks at Ryerson
Joanna Berzowska is the founder and director of XS Labs at Concordia. The talk is at 7:30pm on Friday February 23rd at the Centre for Computing and Engineering, Lecture Theatre 103, 245 Church Street. Here is an excerpt from the description:
“Berzowska is best known for her creation of memory-rich garments such as the Finger Dress and the Feathery Dress which record and visually display the history of where the person wearing the garment has been touched by others. Berzowska also utilizes kinetic elements in pieces such as Kukkia, a dress that is decorated with flowers that possess autonomous behavior, opening and closing according to their own whims.” The full description can be read here.
Also, for those of us who can’t actually attend, the lecture will be available online at the Ryerson Lectures website.
