STARTS Tour
Kristina Maurer, Karla Spiluttini
The STARTS Tour showcases best practice examples at the intersection of science, technology and art. From scenarios for local, circular economies based on food-waste craft, to large-scale data driven explorations of the condition of our oceans and visionary new scenarios for sustainable data storage, the artistic perspectives at the heart of this tour tackle the big challenges that lie ahead of us through both a microscopic and a macroscopic lens.
The intersection between Art and Industry
Rodolfo Groenewoud van Vliet (NL), Marco Duarte (PT), Ali Muhammad (FI)
In this workshop, we will dive deep into the RAMP initiative and the Better Factory project underlying collaboration opportunities and challenges between industry and arts. We will do this with the help of the STARTS Collaboration Toolkit and the Art-Enabled Prototyping process within Better Factory.

NeoBotanical Tailoring
Alexander Bello (BE/MX/US/CA)
“NeoBotanical Tailoring” is a co-creation project aiming to explore the intersection of nature, science, craftsmanship and health through a collection of naturally dyed and scented tailored garments.
Sustainable Evolution
Loreto Binvignat Streeter (CL/ES)
“Sustainable Evolution” is a co-creation project researching and applying innovative microorganic and plant dyes to help tackle the textile dye industry’s water waste and pollution problem.
New Blue
Sandra Nicoline Nielsen (DK), Tim van der Loo (NL)
New Blue explores new pathways in the circular economy, aesthetics and production. Denim is an ubiquitous material, loved and used by many. It is also a significant source of waste. The challenge, as we see it, is to find a way to recirculate old, worn-out jeans and leftover fibres within the system.
Embroidered Touch | Life Space
Anke Loh (DE)
The Embroidered Touch project aims to reconnect individuals to the physical world through tactile craftsmanship with embedded technology. Anke Loh intends to create a dress that responds to touch through embroidered conductive threads.
Second Skin
Malou Beemer (NL)
Malou Beemer reshapes the relation between us and our clothes by integrating body language and non-verbal behaviour into the design process, making fashion design more interactive and responsive.
Post-Natural Prostheses
Filippo Nassetti (IT), Vincenzo Reale (IT)
Through their collaboration, Filippo Nassetti and Vincenzo Reale are changing the notion of prostheses—from medical devices to customised fashion products — by radically rethinking the relationship between technology in the form of wearable objects and the human body. In the context of the current pandemic, their attention has been drawn to the urgent need for respiratory prostheses.
