But I nevertheless think Hauser’s work is worth drawing attention to, because it reminds us of the potential use of medical (and biomedical) images in contemporary fashion and design. Commercial designers seem indeed to agree: The Virtual Shoe Museum already uses another of Hauser’s works in their collection.
Wouldn’t the next step beyond the anatomical body be to create images of postgenomic ‘anatomical ‘ structures, for example from proteomics, for fashion design?
