Kate Hartman - Funky Devices Show How We Relate...

Disclaimer:  This one is a bit "out there."
...But I love it!!!

Kate Hartman is more of a genius than it seems!
She is an Artist...Technologist...Educator.  MOMA loves her!
Her work are really more of a commentary that some may give her credit for.  As an observer of human behaviors and relationships, I applaud her for showing the truth and reality of how people relate to themselves, others, and the world beyond.

On the surface, her works seem light and airy...but the real critic of her work is the truth of what they demonstrate.

Examples:  view on her website - http://www.katehartman.com/thenextbigthing/

-(re)connect:  a garment that allow the wearer to receive feedback from their own gesture and touch
-talk to yourself hat (above photo):  considers the act of conversing with oneself
-wearable wall:  worn as a backpack, a portable structure that has the conceptual flexibility to be used in a varieties of situation
