Techwear Festival: Wear it Berlin Event [October 11th-12th 2014]

"Wear It is the first festival for wearable electronics and arts in Berlin. Use #wearit14 for this year´s festival." @WearItBerlin this is from there twitter website.

If only I knew about this event earlier and/or had the money to go to Berlin, Germany to the Betahaus Berlin Venue. Nevertheless, I'm still pretty excited at what I found out about this event. Thomas Gnahm is the founder of this festival and Trafopop. Trafopop from my understanding is a creative-wearable-tech-wear-enthusiastic gang that share the love of combining technology and riding bikes. It is certainly more than just bikes and technology. His gang use old and new technologies to create the work while riding at night. They might be sewing and using open source codes to build their product-clothing lines. I think his digital-wearable-bike gang can build communities around the USA as well because Our world is working on #sustainability, #health, and the love for #bikes. I find him very inspirational and hope to push forth my passions in life to give back to communities, have a helluva-ton of fun and why not make some dollas on the way. Maybe this will be something I will be doing for halloween! Anyhow lets get back to the fantastically-electro-wear-tech showcase that this gent has created to invite world innovators to come together to do the following:

• International High Level Speakers
• Workshop
• Make Your Dress Code

• Performances
• Exhibition

The Wear It expo is the start of the transition of technology and wearable artwork coming to life. I can picture that their will be many more events,demos, and exhibits in the near future because once society becomes more technology savvy we will want to be incorporating wearables in our life everyday or at least me!
