Shifting Spaces In Fashion: Approaching Digitised Design Spaces From A Bodily Perspective, Jan Tepe Oct 2023

Shifting Spaces In Fashion: Approaching Digitised Design Spaces From A Bodily Perspective, Jan Tepe

IASDR Conference Series

Digitising design processes incrementally reduce the degree to which designers bodily engage with materials to design garments. While extended reality technology such as augmented and virtual reality could address the lack of bodily involvement in digital design processes, they have yet to resonate with fashion designers in academia and the industry to be fully included. The presented research aimed to explore extended reality technology as an enabler of ‘interspaces’ that mediates bodily experiences and interactions of engaging with digital material based on spatial and technological affordances. The emergent design spaces allowed for varying degrees of bodily engaging digital materials. Reflections …

Shifting Identities: New Materialities Of Power And Control, Joaquin Santuber, Pablo Hermansen Oct 2023

Shifting Identities: New Materialities Of Power And Control, Joaquin Santuber, Pablo Hermansen

IASDR Conference Series

Identities, as the materialities that produce them, are changing with the translation of analogue methods of individualization into digital ones. In 2020, with the mobility restrictions related to the COVID-19 pandemic, private and public services moved online performing new forms of identities. From in-person interactions, we —users— were reduced to pixels and data objects which constituted our digital identities: a username, a password, and a profile picture. In Shifting identities, we analyse these changes in an iconic context in the history of identities: a court of justice. Traditionally, a courtroom was a space to perform the authority of the State—a …
