Networked accessories and more with Martin Frey

Jonah Brucker-Cohen has a great interview with Martin Frey –

In the rapidly changing world of consumer electronics and portable devices, a trend is occurring amongst artists and designers to embed social problems and concerns into these objects to shift their intended focus and intent. Taking this credo to an extreme with his work into technologically enhanced objects and accessories is German artist/designer Martin Frey. From creating a watch that keeps track of time and positioning data to guide you towards your destination with his “Just in Time Watch” to integrating GPS and motors into the soles of hiking boots with “Cab Boots”, Frey is interested in the connections and clashes between physical realities and digital data displays.
