| Abstract |
| This study focused on a characteristic of clothing as a medium and contemplated the interrelationship with clothing and other media. In addition to this, this study also tried to get a perspective of the progression of clothing that has the characteristic of digital media such as a wearable computer and smart clothing. In this study, based on Mcluhan`s definition, clothing as a way of media, clothing was viewed as an independent medium that intermediates with other media actively. Using Bolter&Grusin`s remediation theory as an analytical frame, this study defined characteristics of clothing as a medium and analysed the way of intermediation of clothing with other media. As a result, it is concluded that clothing as a material has hypermediacy but clothing as the tool of self reflection has hypermediacy and immediacy simultaneously. And viewed clothing from social aspect, it is a transparent and immediate medium.
From antecedent studies on the relationships with other media, it is clear that clothing has been changing through diverse intermediation with artistic media, such as paintings and sculptures, and technological media. New technologies so far has been remediated with clothing as the way kept the form of clothing unchanged. Recently, with the appearance of the concept of ubiquitous computing, new media has been started to improve or refashion clothing from the needs to communicate with clothing more actively. It is the conclusion of this study that the reason clothing combined with new technology has not been accepted socially and psychologically stems from translucent and opaque character of clothing. |
