The ARS electronica is one of the most important hightech-
culture events in the world. In the category "the next idea" artist
under the age of 27 give us an idea of how they see the future
(what often enough means the next 5 years, as fast as future
is these days).
The winner is: "Used Clothing" from Martin Mairinger
In short: thanks to RFID the clothing tells us their history.
In more length:
"A radio frequency identification (RFID) chip to which the wearer can save information about himself/herself is sewn into each garment. When the item of clothing---for instance, a jacket, pair of pants or T-shirt---is sold at a special second-hand shop, the buyer can access this information online and find out about the garment's past."
And the whole story here.
Honorary Mentions to Nick Knouf (one of the project leads at seamless
