Petreca, Bruna, 2017, Book Section, Giving Body to Digital Fashion Tools In: Broadhurst, Susan and Price, Sara, (eds.) Digital Bodies. Literature, Cultural and Media Studies . Palgrave Macmillan, London, pp. 191-204. ISBN 978-1-349-95241-0

Abstract or Description:

‘Super technology is going to ask for super tactility’ (Lidewii Edelkoort). Exploring this statement, this chapter reflects on the disconnection between digital fashion tools that lack sensory feedback and the critical role of designers’ embodied experience for their practice. In order to support this discussion, additional literature is brought in, which shows that in dance bodily engagement is crucial for supporting and enhancing the creative process. This is done to explore aspects of mediation and embodiment further, and to propose a research agenda for the investigation of textile experience.
