Stealth Wear by Adam Harvey
Fashion exhibition of wearable anti-thermal imaging clothing to protect detection from airborne surveillance technology:
Building off previous work with CV Dazzle, camouflage from face detection, Privacy Mode continues to explore the aesthetics of privacy and the potential for fashion to challenge authoritarian surveillance. Presented by PRIMITIVE at TANK MAGAZINE HQ will be a suite of new designs, made in collaboration with NYC fashion designer Johanna Bloomfield, that tackle some of the most pressing and sophisticated forms of surveillance today. Including:
The anti-drone hoodie and anti-drone scarf: garments designed to thwart thermal imaging, a technology used widely by UAVs.
The XX-shirt: a x-ray shielding print in the shape of a heart, that protects your heart from x-ray radiation
And the Off Pocket: an anti-phone accessory that allows you to instantly zero out your phone’s signal
Accompanying each project will be videos and tests revealing the process behind each technology and counter technology.

Rhizome - Prosthetic Knowledge Picks: Internet Coolhunting
A collection of examples where pop culture was clearly inspired by smaller creative activities on the web (with some people not necessarily happy about it). With online chatter regarding the performance by Rihanna on Saturday Night Live and it’s adoption to the net-art ‘Seapunk’ style, it’s worth knowing that the mixed reaction is not an isolated occasion. Marketers employ ‘coolhunters’ to look out for interesting small cultural developments to make their artist’s seem ‘fresh’ and ahead of the game, an activity that has been happening since the early 1990s, which was a key subject in William Gibson’s 2003 novel Pattern Recognition.
Examples include Timbaland + Chiptune, Tumblr Fashion + Jeremy Scott, Paul B Davis “Datamoshing” Technique + Kanye West, and A Stroke of Genuis - Freelance Hellraiser + RCA.Read the whole thing at Rhizome here

Illustrated people autumn winter 2012
More proof the internet is inspiring more fashion, with this promo for Illustrated People combining lo-fi polygon computer art and GIF models with contemporary hip-hop:
Illustrated people autumn winter 2012 from PABLO & JOSH on Vimeo.
The promo was put together by Pablo Jones-soler, Joshgreet, and Bradley Bell - this is what Pablo has to say about it:
The idea for the video is based on the quote from Jello Biafra “For every prohibition you create you also create an underground. “
It tells the story of these paradoxical super commercialised, luxury, underground sects rising up against an oppressive overlord. it looks at the way big brands try to portray themselves as underground and at the language of commercial spaces and point of sale stands.

LED Hats by Moritz Waldemeyer
Created for London Fashion Week 2012, spinning helicopter blades with lights create illusionary headwear - from Moritz’s website:
For Moritz Waldeyemer it’s the satisfying culmination of ongoing experiments to integrate lighting completely into his designs: ‘it has long been my aim for the technology to disappear, to dissolve it into the surface of the work, so that the light effects themselves become the focus.’
Moritz again drew on the idea of weightlessness when asked to design his own piece for the show. This time a continuous band of light sweeps around the head with no apparent physical connection to the wearer at all. This uncanny effect is achieved courtesy of a carefully positioned propeller headpiece – each blade is finished at the end with LED lights. When in full motion the blades themselves disappear leaving only an ethereal halo of light. It’s millinery for the 21st Century.
