Kate Hartman

Kate Hartman explores the fascinating realm of wearable communication technology and its potential to transform how humans express themselves and connect with others. Through her work, she examines the intersection of fashion, technology, and human interaction, investigating how wearable devices can serve as new forms of communication media.

Her presentation at TED 2011 on "The art of wearable communication" demonstrated her expertise in conceptualizing and developing innovative wearable technologies that extend beyond traditional functionality to become tools for artistic expression and human connection. Hartman's work addresses fundamental questions about how technology can be integrated into our daily lives in more intimate and expressive ways, moving beyond conventional interfaces to create new possibilities for human communication through the body and clothing.
