I had really high hopes and expectations for this book. I have been intrigued by the collaborations between art and technology I have seen which have elevated the art form beyond “computer art”. The projects presented here remind me of the old-style computer art, clunky and visually lacking. The book seemed overly focused on the technical factor rather than on the aesthetics. I understand that they are gearing the book to enable people to actually be able to do the projects, but it would have been nice to have a gallery section to show what could be accomplished after getting the basics down.

I hope they will have a follow-up with some input from fashion designers.
