AN EXPLORATION OF HANDCRAFTED ALGORITHMIC TEXTILES AND SURFACES
This was the first proper Project i had the pleasure working on after joining ZEITGUISED in 2015. I still think it layed the foundation for our team to express themselves in the years to come.
It’s a different kind of fashion project: what looks at first glance as an eccentric tangle of simulated dance and a color coordinated Pinterest exploration turns out to be a study of handcrafted algorithmic textiles and procedural surfaces presented in and for what we call exquisite realities.
A synthetic ghost shifts simulated textiles from passive matter to live organisms. They behave like apparitions in an artificial choreography, with movements that are imaginary yet familiar. Like a constant metamorphosis, the same sequence gets transformed over and over again. At each step, all aspects of the designs are modified, from algorithmic pattern to color scheme to fabric behaviour. The results are meandering layers of style changes.
