CHICAGO – Woman Made Gallery is pleased to announce the opening of its new exhibition, Dig In, Float Up. This exhibition features wearable sculpture, photography and video created during Connerly and Featherstone’s ongoing investigation into how to create a more meaningful connection with the world around us. Included in the show are examples Envirotouchers, a series of prototypes designed to create a more connected world. These include a wearable cloud-suit which allows the wearer to transcend their everyday experience and to experience cloud-like thoughts as well as a root-growing backpack that enables its wearer to grow into and transmit and/or absorb molecules from his or her environment.
Running from March 6 – April 19th 2009, this playful exhibition helps us to re-imagine our connections to our environment by replacing rationality with sensuality and isolation with relationship.
