“Intimacy started with the idea of using the concept of hiding and showing. I always talk about sensual technologies, extensions of your skin, and I thought, now let’s use it in a really extreme way; let’s use it in fashion. Fashion, after all, is very much about the tension between hiding and showing. I think we’re developing toward a world in which local intelligences will “talk” to each other through wireless connections; they could be objects or your cell phone. In this world of information, in which everything talks to everything else, there is a great transparency. It’s really becoming an issue. But sometimes you want to hide things, and only show them later. What would happen if we used the concept of material becoming transparent and then opaque again, of showing and hiding, in fashion?”
