Bruce Damer
Bruce Damer is a fascinating man with an extremely broad spectrum of interests, talents, and projects. I especially liked his comments on the garment industry and incredible potential for change.
Every morning I cut through the glaze/haze with a cup of coffee and plan for the day. Among other things, this plan includes figuring out what technology I’m using, schlepping, and the physical ramifications of those objects. Lately my backpack, pockets, wrists, and neck don’t seem adequate for the ever expanding list of technology including mobile phone, laptop computer, fire wire cables, MP3 player, sun glasses, textbooks, sketchbook, Game DVDs, etc. The idea that my clothes could potentially help distribute the load, in a functional and aesthetic manner, is extremely attractive. Garments are a reflection of lifestyle, environment, and should (as Bruce suggests) support our current needs. Just don’t make me wear a suit that makes me look geekier than I already am (i.e. “society for creative anachronism dude”).
