These are territorial outfits - Anouk Wipprecht

Anouk Wipprecht is an Dutch  Designer and Innovator working in the emerging field of "FashionTech" - a rare combination of fashion design combined with engineering, robotics, science and interaction/user experience design to make fashion an experience that transcends mere appearances. She wants her garments to facilitate and augment the interactions we have with ourselves and our surroundings. Her Spider Dress is a perfect example of this aesthetic, where sensors and moveable arms on the dress help to create a more defined boundary of personal space while employing a fierce style. 

Dutch FashionTech Designer Anouk Wipprecht combines Fashion with Robotics, Interaction Design and Machine Learning for over 10 years to provoke her generation. http://www.anoukwipprecht.nl

"Unicorn Wearable Uses Neuroscience to Help Kids" SPARKS residency project 'Agent Unicorn' by Dutch FashionTech Designer Anouk Wipprecht, investigates an playful approach towards ADHD by a unicorn-horn shaped headset that logs the wearer’s observations through electroencephalography (EEG) Anouk Wipprecht is the first artist selected to come for a Sparks Residency at Ars Electronica Futurelab. Proving a sharp interest towards different ways in which the body can connect with technology devices, Anouk sees fashion as a promising token of electronic communication. Her designs monitor body signals, stress levels and measure out what happens in the surroundings. She regards her designs as case studies to better understand how the human body interacts with the environment. During her Sparks residency, Anouk used these concepts to develop a device that addresses mental health, giving concrete shape to the concept of RRI via fashion. The result is an art-deco style headpiece in the shape of a unicorn horn mounted on the head as an interface between the brainwaves and the surroundings. The device measures the state of the concentration in the brain and triggers a video capture when the electrical signals picked up by the EEG are high enough. This product aims to create a learning system that brings more self-awareness to the wearer. The designer wants to show people what engages them in their daily life, that is, what triggers their attention and moreover, what triggers their state of mind. Anouk Wipprecht’s approach as a designer is to get EEG devices out of the medical niche and find their use in the everyday life. The unicorn headpiece is a beautiful example of this approach, being able to show people which invasive events during the day have had a strong impact on the brain’s activity. This is particularly useful for children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), as it suggests a point of departure for concrete therapeutic measures, by showing when changes in attention intervene and what triggers them. About her creation Anouk Wipprecht said: ‘Wearing 
this
 unicorn
 horn-shaped 
agent 
is
 a
 way
 for
 children
 to
 escape
 being socially stigmatized. It
 demonstrates 
in
 a
 playful 
way 
that
 by 
giving
 current
 medical
 devices
 a 
fashionable 
twist, you
 can
 create
 something
 which 
is 
easier 
to
 digest
 from
 an
 UX (user experience) state

Markerless vs. Marker Based Augmented Reality - AppReal

New advances in the mobile hardware and software technologies led to the recent introduction of markerless augmented reality. This approach eliminated the need for 3D object tracking systems, overcoming the interactivity limitations marker-based augmented reality placed on the range of images encapsulated within the markers.

All this after watching the first episode of Planet of the Apps. I know so little of the industry but this proves to be quite the episode long education. Plus, how can you not listen to the wit of the man himself Gary Vee. Read more about Markerless VR in the link below. 

Apple Music presents Planet of the Apps, a groundbreaking new series that gives aspiring app creators the opportunity of a lifetime to work with entrepreneur advisors Jessica Alba, Gwyneth Paltrow, Gary Vaynerchuk, and Will.i.am. Under the close guidance of one advisor mentor, each concept goes through an intense incubation period-all in preparation for a real-life, high-stakes pitch to Lightspeed Venture Partners.

The Hunt for the Squircle – Apply Pixels

The superellipse or, more precisely (and way cuter), the Squircle. Since the reveal there’s already been a dozen templates or so that have tried their hand at the new form and I have yet to see an exact representation. This is one of those things that seem very simple, but is actually quite hard to get exact.

Apple’s Icons Have That Shape for a Very Good Reason – Medium

On the right you see what curvature continuity looks like. The curvature comb transition is a curve itself, starting from zero curvature. There’s no sudden break in curvature and, as a result, the highlight is smoother. This difference in curvature is harder to spot in an icon, but the important thing is that now the icons and the hardware are part of the same design language.

DEEP WEB - kinetic audiovisual installation and performance

Deep Web is a monumental immersive audiovisual installation and live performance created by light artist Christopher Bauder and composer and musician Robert Henke. Presented in enormous pitch dark indoor spaces, Deep Web plunges the audience into a ballet of iridescent kinetic light and surround sound.

DEEP WEB KINETIC AUDIOVISUAL INSTALLATION AND PERFORMANCE BY CHRISTOPHER BAUDER AND ROBERT HENKE COMMISSIONED BY THE FESTIVAL OF LIGHTS LYON Deep Web is a monumental immersive audiovisual installation and live performance created by light artist Christopher Bauder and composer and musician Robert Henke. Presented in enormous pitch dark indoor spaces, Deep Web plunges the audience into a ballet of iridescent kinetic light and surround sound. The work was presented as a preview at CTM 2016 Festival Berlin and will be followed by its original presentation at the Festival of Lights Lyon in December 2016. The generative, luminous architectural structure weaves 175 motorized spheres and 12 high power laser systems into a 25 meter wide and 10 meter high super-structure, bringing to life a luminous analogy to the nodes and connections of digital networks. Moving up and down, and choreographed and synchronized to an original multi-channel musical score by Robert Henke, the spheres are illuminated by blasts of colourful laser beams resulting in three-dimensional sculptural light drawings and arrangements in cavernous darkness. The installation brings together decades of separate research and experimentation by two artists with unique visions and passions for sound and light, and by innovative companies working in these fields. High-end laser system manufacturer LaserAnimation Sollinger provided the technical expertise and development for this very specific spatial laser setup. The high precision motor winch systems with real time feedback and the main control software are provided by Design Studio WHITEvoid in collaboration with Kinetic Lights. This novel combination of computer controlled kinetic elements and laser systems allows for setting animated end points to normally infinite laser beams. DEEP WEB uses light as a tangible material to construct threedimensional vector drawings in thin air. The work was originally commissioned by the Festival of Lights Lyon 2015, and developed in cooperation with local producer Tetro. Due to the festival’s cancellation after the tragic events in Paris, Berliners had the unique chance to attend an exclusive preview before the project will be presented in December 2016 in Lyon for the Festival of Lights 2016. The Artists: An artist and designer working in the fields of light and installation art, media design and scenography, Christopher Bauder focuses on the translation of bits and bytes into objects and environments, and vice versa. Space, object, sound, light and interaction are key elements of his work. In 2004 he founded the multidisciplinary art and design studio WHITEvoid, which specializes in interactivity, media, interior architecture, and electronic engineering. Bauder has brought his installations and performances to art events and spaces around the world, including Centre Pompidou Paris, MUTEK Montreal, Festival of Lights Lyon, Luminale Frankfurt, The Jewish Museum Berlin and The National Museum of Fine Arts in Taiwan. He is best known for his city-wide light art installation “Lichtgrenze”, created in 2014 together with his brother Marc, for the 25th anniversary of the Fall of the Berlin Wall and his large scale kinetic live shows ATOM and GRID. Both in cooperation with Robert Henke. Alongside his numerous releases as Monolake, Robert Henke is also well known for the music, audiovisual installations and performances he has been creating under his own name since the early 90s. Due to his background in engineering and fascination with the beauty of technical objects, the development of his own instruments and algorithms has always been an integral part of his creative process. Henke also co-developed the omnipresent Ableton Live music software, which since its invention in 1999 has become the standard tool for electronic music production and completely redefined live performance practice. His installations and performances have been presented at Tate Modern London, the Centre Pompidou Paris, PS-1 New York, MUDAM Luxembourg, MAK Vienna, the Art Gallery of New South Wales in Australia, KW Institute for Contemporary Art, Berlin, and at countless festivals.

Apichatpong Weerasethakul

Immerse yourself in this powerful multi-screen video installation by the award-winning Thai filmmaker

Inspired in part by surrealism, Weerasethakul’s films present a world that is distinctly mutable and elusive, evoking the artist’s interest in the surrealist game Exquisite Corpse, whereby players add words or images sequentially to a sentence or diagram without knowing what came before, so as to construct a fanciful, multi-layered scenario.
