(im)material

From product to process
  • before the 18th century, everything was handmade; the Arts and Crafts movement is the child of mechanization
  • patterns: grid, loop, abstraction, representation: relating patterns of knowledge and patterns of fashion
  • for example, layering and separates are examples of grid design in fashion
  • a different sociological model: Issey Miyake's print-and-cut-out dresses - a different production model, a different relationship to clothes
  • her own work: processes of compression, translation, abstraction
  • art, politics, fashion, digital futures

Questions
- interesting conversation about corporations - is the cultural change in the new tools we make?
- Eric Von Hippel - corporations will become production and distribution arms, with innovation coming from individual users and smaller groups
