[dataset:you]

[dataset:you] is a fashion collection, which visualizes and materializes the captivating, addictive use of social media networks on a physical and emotional level.

The collection aims to convey a sense of individual responsibility for our usage of time and attention. In a playful, calming and captivating way our attention is drawn to the present, while we are reminded to spend time mindfully.

The inspiration for my garment designs came from hourglasses, where grains trickle down and visualize the passing time in a soothing, captivating way.

BASIC PRINCIPLE

My garments are designed with two or more layers that contain grains, which trickle down as in an hour glass. Two layers are connected on defined lines and create separated chambers where the grains can move.

Interaction on social media seems harmless, but all of our navigations, interactions and steps are tracked. With this great amount of personal information, detailed profiles are created and constantly shaped.

To gather as much data as possible, we are manipulated and influenced to spend time online and engage with content. Our time and attention is the product.

Robotics & 3D-Printing

ROBOTIC PRINTING

In cooperation with the Institute of Polymer Product Engineering in Linz (IPPE) a new garment was produced by welding together plastic sheets with textiles by robotic 3D printing techniques.

MATERIAL SAMPLES

The 3D printing process was tested using various materials, exploring a range of color and texture combinations, as well as transparency and material stiffness.

Like an hourglass, the garment has to be turned upside down to "reload".

GARMENT 2

The wearer can shift into a headstand, handstand, or other movements to maintain the flow. This interaction enhances engagement, allowing them to control the movement while enjoying the gentle trickle.

To reactivate the hour-glass-effect, rotate the garment, wear it differently, move or invert your body.

Multilayered Weaving Technique

MULTILAYERED JACQUARD

The complex material was produced at the Textile Center Haslach. The textile is woven in four layers with multiple chambers. After leaving the weaving machine, finishing touches were applied.

GARMENT 3

The piece can be worn in different ways to reactivate the flow of the grains. It should be fun to experiment with wearing styles and see how the flow reacts.
