WearOut

This project is about wearables that take shape
once the wearer have used them.

What if the wearer could become whoever he is without having to choose
a certain representation in his outfit?
Is it possible to approach fashion design without
imposing a certain model to follow?

The outcome from these premises is a movement promoting diversity and diversity achieved through movement.
Since movement is as individual as our fingerprints, a design that takes into account motion becomes singular to each person. The design effortlessly adapts to the body’s movement. The mechanism applied on the fabric breaks when there is pressure and adjusts to the wearer. By using movement as a catalyzer of change in the object, the garment takes its final form once each person has used it.
By encouraging individual diversity, I hope to promote tolerance towards difference.

Voice knitting machine

Die Voice Knitting Machine komt voort uit een project van Hanna Wiesener en Magdalena Kohler voor Ars Electronica in 2007. De breimachine heette toen nog ‘Gelsomina’. Een breimachine uit de jaren 70 werd gehackt zodat hij interactief werd, bediend door stemgeluid. Met een microcontroller en 24 motortjes werd een patroonkaart nagemaakt zoals de breimachine die leest.
