09.00-13.15 | Working Groups | University of East Anglia
Sharing, discussion and exchange around two distinct strands, HARDWARE and SOFTWEAR lead by Ghislaine Boddington (Future Physical) with moderators Jo Hyde, Martin Kusch, Tania Telford, Yacov Sharir, Thecla Schiphorst and Sha Xin Wei.

Across Friday and Saturday mornings the invited artists and the Interchange participants will spend 8 hours together sharing and exchanging information and thoughts on the WEAR ME!!! themes. The group will have an initial session as a whole and then split into the two strands of HARDWARE and SOFTWEAR to follow through more detailed discussion topics set by the moderators. Discussions will explore topics such as hardware portability and miniaturisation, interactive software developments, smart textile innovations, and the missing crossover between fashion and textiles.

Each day the final conclusions of the two strands will be shared with the whole group pushing to the forefront the issues for the next day. These sessions will be documented and initial thoughts and conclusions put on the Future Physical website at the end of day. The group will be able to continue this exchange through the website beyond this weekend.
