Series of portraits of women who had a major role in the history of computing.

“Computers” used to design women whose job was to calculate, to compute. When the first computers were invented, women were put onto the machines to manipulate them. Once men grasped the potential of computing, they took over women’s place.

Merchandise inspired by The Kunstkammer and its collection of fantastical creatures

This collection of merchandise tells a captivating story of The Kunstkammer, a museum of natural history and curiosities. Among these creatures are a mischievous medieval jester, mythical birds from ancient lore, and fierce wild boars. The organic and sinuous forms of these creatures stand in stark contrast to the geometric precision of Ziggurat, a modular custom font designed for this collection.

In the frosty embrace of winter, a scarf becomes more than a mere accessory. It’s a shield against the icy winds, a canvas for self-expression. As snowflakes dance delicately, it wraps snugly around her neck, a warm embrace amid the chill. And while others crave hot cocoa, she savors ice cream, the contrast of cold against cold, a sweet defiance of winter’s grip.

A t-shirt designed as a critique of gender stereotyping in children’s fashion.

This lettering and t-shirt were made as merch for the company red_mad_robot. The company has grown older and more serious, but has not lost its enthusiasm to discover something new. That’s why metal, which was the basis for the rebranding, became the main idea and the basis for future experiments for the company’s merch.

This poster shows the similarities between typography and fashion. The similarities frame a form that stands for both typography and fashion. It has an ambiguity. It can be an abstract letter or a fashion accessory.

This work draws attention to the cheap materials and greenwashing in today’s fashion world. On the environmentally harmful material plastic is the typography: responsible. This is how greenwashing is practiced, especially in the fast fashion sector. The plastic is from a garbage bag, which shows the fate of overproduced and cheap clothes, as they end up in landfill after a relatively short time.

As a female in particular, you are often confronted with the request: Cover up. Whether this happens directly or through social expectations and role models varies. In this collage, I work purely from the materiality of the clothes to begin with the cover up. Simultaneously, the typography cover stands for a magazine cover on which women are presented purely with their outward appearances and are still presented today according to the principle of sex sells in order to make a profit.

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.”

OKTROOI makes streetwear / embraces the subcultures / is the moiré effect flickering between art, music and design / is the king poodle among all the budgies / the underground pop universe is the engine / naturally made from GOTS-certified organic cotton and recycled materials.

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

get out of your comfort zone – even or especially when it feels difficult

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.
