The exhibition curated by Anouk Wipprecht features garments that combine fashion and technology while expanding the possibilities of contemporary fashion design. These smart textiles are equipped with electronic components such as sensors and LEDs or are made out of innovative and futuristic materials. The interactive engineering of the pieces in the exhibition gives visitors a chance to experience haute tech couture first hand.

\r\n

A special partnership has been established for the first time with the Mozarteum University in Salzburg. Students Anna Schöttl und Susanne Leitner from the Department for Stage and Costume Design, Film, and Exhibition Architecture under Professor Henrik Ahr conceived and implemented the exhibition architecture.

\r\n

Performances, lectures, workshops for kids and teens, as well as a symposium are part of the extensive program accompanying the exhibition organized in collaboration with monochrom, TONSPUR für einen öffentlichen Raum, the youth organization Bund Europäischer Jugend/Junge Europäische Föderalisten (BEJ/JEF), the University of Applied Arts Vienna, the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna, and the University of Applied Sciences St. Pölten. Stage design students from the University Mozarteum Salzburg are responsible for the exhibition design.

\r\n

The exhibition is part of the quartier21 exhibition series \"freiraum quartier21 INTERNATIONAL\" in cooperation with the Federal Ministry for European and International Affairs, the Dutch Embassy in Austria, the Mondriaan Foundation, and other partners from Austria and abroad.
