Uncomfortable Clothes #01

Fashion Frictions - Otto von Busch (Keynote)

There is a friction haunting fashion. Many of the basic qualities of design shares an uncomfortable fit with the way we interact with clothes: They are irrational. They are neither functional, nor user-friendly. Fashion is difference but also sameness, the new as well as the old, the cloning of idols as well as their rejection. It is a sense of pride as much as shame. And it is not uncommon that we feel an urge to lie to others about what we wear and our recent purchases. What is going on here? How are we to deal with the shallows and depths of fashion?

Fashion. Technology. Responsibility.

Das STARTS-Pilotprojekt Re-FREAM startet diese Session mit einer Keynote, in der unsere Einstellung zu der Kleidung, die wir tragen, hinterfragt wird und wie wir die Systeme und Bedingungen ihrer Herstellung überdenken können. Im Anschluss an die Keynote präsentieren drei KünstlerInnenteams die Ergebnisse und Prototypen, die in ihren Residencies im Rahmen von Re-FREAM realisiert wurden.
