BioCouture aims to address ecological and sustainability issues around fashion.

Amber Case – Digital Philosopher

Posted on July 4th, 2010 • Filed under mediarosa • No Comments

Amber Case is just your ordinary cyborg anthropologist. “My father used to read me bedtime stories out of this book called Evolution of Consciousness,” Case says. One night he drew two points on a piece of paper. He asked what the shortest distance was from point A to point B. “A straight line,” she said. “There's an even shorter distance,” he responded.

Compressed time and space,” Case says. “He told me this when I was 4 or 5, and I would think about it every single night.”
