[Sigia-l] IA as fashion designers?

[Andrew Boyd]

Hi Ziya,

this has such a Mondo2000/1980s/cyberpunk feel to it... MIT Media Labs 
gargoyles with webcam sunglasses and video-processing software in their 
shorts... wristband TVs in soft easy-wearing fabrics... supercomputer 
T-shirts as word art... cool :)

Cheers, Andrew
