The beauty of 2nd skin | Sabine Seymour | TEDxTransmedia

This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. Sabine explains that the goal of her trans-disciplinary work in research and development is to find innovative applications for “wearable technology”: technology we wear directly on the body, woven in the garment as a technically constructed “second skin." Sabine Seymour is an entrepreneur and conceptual researcher focusing on the next generation of wearables and the intertwining of aesthetics and function in our “second skin”. She is described as being an innovator, visionary, trend setting, holistic in her approach, and a lateral thinker and has been involved in wearables for almost two decades. Dr. Seymour is the founder and CEO of Moondial, co-chairs the Rockefeller Foundation Grant funded project Computational Fashion at Eyebeam, curates the MAK Fashion Lab at the Museum of Applied Arts in Vienna, is the Director of the Fashionable Technology Lab at Parsons The New School for Design, is a visiting researcher for Computational Cellulose at Aalto University in Helsinki, co-directs the research project BODYMetaphor at The New School, and is on the steering committee for ZeroPower Smart Fashion. About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
