We capture skateboarders’ motions with sensors, cameras and machine learning based pose estimation. The resulting image sequences and data visualisations explain how momentum is gained and tricks are carried out.
Our canvas for explaining these biomechanics is the classic t-shirt, which has always been an essential part of skateboard culture. A laser-cutter burns the bitmaps and shapes into the textiles line by line.

These wearable posters are artifacts from a workshop that explored the relationship between the body and Hanzi (Chinese characters). Participants practiced writing Hanzi at a large scale using the body as a canvas through a series of collaborative, hands-on exercises. What are ways we can examine the boundaries between bodies and print, typography, and space, and the individual to the collective? What does collective publishing look like through collaborative labor in a shared space and time?

“Haute Côté – where the art of Haute Couture becomes inspiration. Our work pays tribute to the unparalleled quality and elegance of Haute Couture, while simultaneously creating a world of our own sophistication and beauty. Each piece tells a story of craftsmanship and passion, capturing the essence of Haute Couture and transforming it into timeless garments.”

Within a Photoshooting we experimented with a thin fabric scarf that was waved in front of the camera. Thus creating a blurry hazy vibe. This blur is representative for the blur in which I feel I’m in whenever I try to navigate through buying clothing in a affordable and sustainable way.

Fashion that changes ones appearences in a way that you resemble something different is interesting

eAt ThE rIcH is a collection of garments that takes a satirical look at the commodification of popular cultures by luxury brands. By doing so, these brands confirm an elitist position in the disposition of a legitimate taste.
Quotes taken from memes are embroidered on clothes symbolically associated with popular classes, creating an ambiguous narrative around these symbols. By combining “cheap” garments with embroidery, the project aims to challenge a hierarchic organisation of tastes.

“What would happen if I transformed letters into wearables?” This question lingered in Soledad’s mind the day she learned about the 36 Days of Type challenge. There was only one way to answer it, so she decided to bring it to life – digitally.

Each piece of work, from conceptualization to design, clothing modeling, and avatar customization, was completed in less than a day. The result is a faithful reflection of her thoughts and mood throughout those 26 days of non-stop creation.

Due to a machine error during dyeing process, the materials prepared for the clothing line became defective and unpredictable when washed. Thus, garments deform every time regardless of washing method. This reflects AI’s unpredictability as altering images with AI yields vaguely predictable results. Utilising the Machine Learning Font by NaN on an unpredictable medium, such as this, introduces the font to new, random iterations driven by simpler technology than ML algorithms.

ART IS DIFFERENT IN EVERY WAY AND KIND. I DECIDED TO USE A RECYCLED CURTAIN AS A BASE OF THE CLOTHING. OVERLAID BY AN ORGANIC SELF-CONSTRUCTED FONT. I HAVE
CHOOSEN A RED LOOK TO SYMBOLIZE THE POWER OF ART BUT ALSO THE DANGER IN ITS FORM.

CREASE EVERYWHERE. THE SURFACE IS NOT SMOTH NEITHER IS YOUR FACE, BODY OR PERSONALITY. YOU ARE SPECIAL! THE OVERLAYED TYPOGRAPHY IS DARKENING THE PHOTOGRAPY,
SYMBOLISING THE WORRIES OF YOUR OWN PERSONALITY.

REAL IS SUBJECTIVE. WHAT IS REAL AND WHAT IS FAKE OR JUST A SCENERY. BASED ON THE DARK, SOMEHOW MYSTERIOUS OVERLAY : KNOWN AS THE UNKOWN FACT ABOUT REAL OR FAKE VIEWS. THE HAND LAID LETTERING IS UNDERLINING THE TOPICS OF THIS PRESENTATION.

YOU ARE IMPORTANT. IT IS IMPORTANT HOW YOU CAPTURE YOURSELF AND NOT THE OTHERS.
THIS SELF – PORTRAIT IS ILLUSTRATED WITH AN MIX OF LAID OUT HAIR AND SELF – FORMED COTTON – BASED FABRICS BUILDING THE WORDS IM – ART ( I´AM ART).

A, B OR C. WHY ARE WE LABELING THE SOCIETY. YOU SHOULD BE FREE. FOR ILLUSTRATION I USED AN DARKENED SELF – PORTRAIT WITH AN OVERLAY TO CREATE THE EFFECT OF A BLACK
HOLE. THE FONT IS SELF – CREATED WITH A COTTON – BASED FABRIC.

SELF PORTRAIT – SERIES OVERLAYED WITH HAND – FORMED LETTERING MADE OUT OF COTTON – BASED FIBRES SPELLING BLURR. THIS BLURR EFFECT IS ALSO REPRESENTED IN THE
STRUCTURE OF THESE NATURAL FIBRES.

SELF-MADE COTTON BASED FIBRES.

TRASH recycles routine. The concept of the jewelry brand lies in reimagining trash. The brand identity is rooted in reimagined utilitarian design: technical information and marking aesthetics combined with a bright color scheme which is closely linked to what people see daily on the street. The monospaced font upholds the utilitarian aesthetic of technical information. The barcode as a marking element complements the brand’s visuals, with numbers on the barcode encoding the word “trash”.

These text works were made through an experimental process, including plaster castings, embossment and collage.
Utilising texture and light primarily, words, against the prompt of FASHION, try to make themselves visable in playful arrangements.

Fashion is more than just clothes; it’s a form of communication. Outfits reflect inner values and the own perception of oneself.
Phrases were created to summarise what thoughts could result in a person with this attitude, and can be read individually or by reconstructing them. The Photography displays this aspect visually, capturing the model in unconventional angles, initially appearing as a combination of objects but recognisable as a person upon closer examination.

Custom type and kit design for an amateur basketball team KK Joonis. The typeface is an interpretation of technical lettering instructions compiled by E. Targo (1974).

Isn’t it totally crazy that there are still fashion labels working with real fur these days? We live in 2024 and this is the harsh reality. It seems so far-fetched, but it’s so real.
There are many great organizations that fight against fur production every day and are often successful in doing so. That’s why we can’t raise awareness enough about how horrible fur production is to hopefully reach every fashion designer one day and abolish fur production.

Influenced by social and cultural tensions, the topic of prejudice regarding Arabic/Persian typography remains as important as ever. To counteract these biases, we aimed to expose Persian typography on garments, offering people the opportunity to experience the beauty and detail of Arabic typography in a playful context.

This project is the outcome of a workshop with Golnar Kat Rahmani at the State Academy of Fine Arts in Stuttgart.”
