Constantly under the lens of the camera, fashion is a natural form in which to explore the relationship between surveillance and culture. How are we watched? How do we watch? How do we present ourselves to the eyes of the world? I'd like to introduce a fashion show being organized for Maker Faire San Mateo, May 22&23 2010. We are showcasing wearables that can be used for surveillance or to thwart surveillance.

Full details are here, and that page will be updated with more information and a list of participants as they are finalized. You can also email fashion@synthesize.us with specific questions.

I believe many people here have done awesome projects that fit our theme, and I hope you will consider submitting them. Thanks for reading, and please forward widely!
