Isa Gordon is an artist, designer, and entrepreneur whose works explore themes of transformation, technology, and hybrid identities. She lectures and exhibits internationally and, much to her own surprise, is considered a leading expert in wearable technology. Isa is perhaps best known for her cyborg alter-ego performance persona, Psymbiote, and as founder of the SIGGRAPH CyberFashion Show, which she curated and produced from 2002 through 2005. She’s also inventor of PodBelt, a modular personal cargo system, and is currently developing a line of “upcycled” fashions and accessories branded Entropy Reclaimation, scavenging materials out of urban detritus from discarded clothes to defunct cell phones. Her interest in NLP and guided meditation is grown from a life-long fascination with the power of mind.
