| − | '''Week 1/2'''
| |
| | | | |
| − | I missed the first week of the minor, so I was a bit late with finding my object for this project.
| |
| − | After visiting the boijmans and searching on the collection online. I chose a work of Carsten
| |
| − | Höller that is in the storage. I was really inspired bij the the colors and the shapes. And I am
| |
| − | always interested in the nature.

| |
| − | Titel - Fliegenpilz/Satanspilz/Habichtspilz, Kunstenaar - Carsten Höller, Brussel 1961, Uitvoerder - Lars MandlerJaartal2009, Lokatie - Dit object is in het depot, Afmetingen - 9 x 10,5 x 10 cm, Materiaal en techniek - polyurethaan hars en acrylverf

| |
| − | When I first saw this art work I thought it was a small object. But after doing research on the
| |
| − | internet, I saw that it is really big. And it’s wrong on the page of the boijmans. The information
| |
| − | on the webpage of the boijmans is Title: Fliegenpilz/Satanspilz/Habichtspilz But there is also a
| |
| − | title Giant Triple Mushrooms, 2010. And the information of the size on the webpage is 9 x 10,5 x 10 cm.
| |
| − | I Thought this is wrong, because I saw this picture.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | [[File:6595816539_6bc2627ccf.jpg]]
| |
| − |
| |
| − | But after doing research to the size. I saw that he made small ones and big ones. The size of the big mushrooms are between 1m and 2,6m.
| |
| − | So the object in the boijmans should be the small one. But To be shure I have send them an e-mail.

| |
| − |
| |
| − | I really like the colors, the abstract shape and I think is nice to see that it is a investigation.
| |
| − | That gives me the feeling to do a experiment.

| |
| − | '''Research'''
| |
| − |
| |
| − | After doing research in books and websites. I found more information about his artwork.
| |
| − | The artwork was inspired by the fly agaric mushroom is coming back in his work since 1994.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | [[File:20140916_111719.jpg|500px]]
| |
| − |
| |
| − | This is the first work of casten holler. He made photo's of the fly-mushrooms.
| |
| − |
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The mushrooms are also in Höller’s installation, named Soma, is inspired by the myth of a
| |
| − | magical drink. According to the beliefs of Vedic nomads in northern India. Soma gave those
| |
| − | who drank it special powers and brought them closer to their gods. Nobody knows what went
| |
| − | into the drink, though some research.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | [[File:soma_Carsten_Höller5.jpg]]
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Höller will create a living picture in two parts, each half populated with resin sculptures of the
| |
| − | red and white mushroom as well as six live reindeer, 12 singing canaries, four laboratory
| |
| − | mice and one fly.
| |
| − | In a scientific experiment, one group will be fed urine from six reindeer in the installation
| |
| − | that have eaten fly agaric while the other half will be given urine from reindeer not exposed
| |
| − | to the mushroom.
| |
| − | Visitors are invited to spend the night in a bed in the middle of the installation, to observe
| |
| − | the effects of the fly when it is caught.

| |
| − | ''Other work of Carsten Holler''
| |
| − |
| |
| − | I knew the artist Carsten Holler of his instalation „”Test Site”. Test Site was an art installation,
| |
| − | that was displayed in the turbine hall of Tate Modern in London, UK, between October 2006 and April 9, 2007.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | I did also a research to other work of Carste Holler. To have an idea about his ideas and inspirations.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Test Site, as the title declares, is an experimental project. Using the given characteristics of
| |
| − | Tate Modern’s Turbine Hall, German artist Carsten Höller has taken advantage of the height
| |
| − | of the space, and the vast museum audience, to test a hypothesis he has been investigating
| |
| − | for some time concerning the possible effects of sliding. What would be the result of sliding
| |
| − | if it was part of the daily routine? Can slides become part of our experiential and architectural life?
| |
| − |
| |
| − | [[File:Test_Site_by_Carsten_Höller.jpg|500px]]
| |
| − |
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Höller’s own scientific background (he has a doctorate in agricultural science) the experimental
| |
| − | nature, is a part in his work. It is nice to see other work of him. I really like his idea of being
| |
| − | a part of his investigation.
| |
| − |
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Höller’s work is all about of questions such as: “How do we achieve enlightenment? What role is
| |
| − | science given in our society, and what role myth?”

| |
| − | I found this picture when I did a research to other work with soma/the fly mushrooms. I Really like this picture because it's remember me the mushrooms of Holler. And I can see the intrest of Carsten holler in this face. Carsten Holler's intrest in fly mushrooms is based on there psychoactive properties and that there is a secret in the history about it, because the fly mushrooms has a important task in the development of the human culture. As in the work of holler you see a white mushroom that is familiar for us and the fly mushroom in one mushroom as a collage. And in this face you see a guy that is normal and one whit a crazy head after drinking the soma.

| − | (17-09-14) I have tried to make a 3d model of my object in meschmixer. My next step is to copy it more in details and to try tools with color. And to make a appointment for checking my 3d model & printing.

| − | '''Written Assignment'''
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''What is my craft?'''
| |
| − | My study is fashion design. It’s an experimental section without restrictions, that’s what fascinates me the most. I work with stories and concepts im my crafts and I am inspired by strange stories with weird facts. My style can be described as experimental. I Like to work with unconventional materials and new technologies.

| |
| − | [[File:Schermafbeelding 1.png|500px]]
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''What are the tools and media of your craft?
'''
| |
| − | I really like to work with the molding technique named shingo sato. It’s an technique to create a pattern. I always work with a sewing machine in combination with handwork.
I use illustrator and photoshop to design my collection and I always use my tablet to draw my own doll in photoshop. I like to work with shapes. So before I start making sketches I do a research of shapes. And then I combine it on the body in illustrator.
I like to make illustrations by hand and to use these in illustrator en photoshop to combine it with different things. My research always contains form and research, I use this to make digital collages for designing.
| |
| − | Several works of art continue to inspire me during the design of a collection. I don’t always think it’s important that everything is portable. I often use different materials in combination with fabric.

| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''What are the borders of this practice?'''
| |
| − | Especially in the last few years, fashion designers are more concerned using technology. They embrace the technology to make new designs and improve the function in clothing.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | There are more and more projects in which fashion designers and engineers work together to create “smart textiles”. These projects are given as classes in schools nowadays. The goal is to give clothing a new function. Or display the body to give a function to the clothing.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | An example of a designer who works a lot with modern technology is Hussein Chalayan. He always was fascinated by movement and more and more he uses different kinds of technology in his work.

| − | It's nice to see how he get's in to the technology/movements.
| |

| |
| − | An example of renewing an old similar weave technique is a print from the collection of Pinna for men and women in 1885. The print is called houndstooth. It’s been repeated several times in new collections, in different ways and in different clothes.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The brand Sportmax has used the print for the collection spring 2013. They did this by lasercutting the print in fabric. Like this example, old things are re-used in fashion, but with new techniques. I think this will last forever because technology is infinite.

| |

| |
| − | The technology is also more being used to create replicas of haute couture collections. Fashion is quickly made accessible to a wider audience.

Right: Zara collection 2013

| |
| − | '''Connect to a historical discourse and give concrete examples of contemporary practitioners'''
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Menswear knitwear designer Siri Johansen’s collection included voluminous, oversize jumpers and trousers based in part on existing classic or favorite garments. For her research, the designer selected basic items such as a cable knit jumper, a herringbone tweed coat and a denim jacket. She focussed on the familiar details of the garments’ patterns and textures, playfully altering their scale and magnifying surface details. Johansen used a range of printing and knitting techniques to expand and exaggerate patterns which are traditionally woven – a herringbone weave wool fabric became extra-large knitted chevrons; twill-woven jeans morphed into knitted trousers with an electronically-produced, enlarged version of denim’s familiar diagonal lines. Future Fashion Now included Johansen’s oversize grey jumper, inspired by a cable knit jumper in her mother’s wardrobe (photo). She used an electronic Morat knitting machine to reproduce the cable of the source garment as an extra-large image, in two dimensions instead of three.

| |
| − |
| |
| − | Define your position of your practice in relation to newer technologies.
| |
| − | In my point of view, modern technology can provide many new options to create new things. Technology plays a huge role in Fashion. Everything has already been done once. The only thing that can be renewed indefinitely is the technology.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | I like to work with different kind of materials and techniques. The modern technology inspires me and makes it easier to combine it with fashion. For example making paper flexible with lasercut technique to work with it on a body. You get the opportunity of more control with crafts. For this project I worked with felt. I only had instructions before, it’s the first time I used felt. You have little control while working with felt. What i really found exciting was the backside. By pushing with a needle trough felt, you push the sharpness to the backside and when you remove the excess wool at the back there will arise pixels, removing the blur and arising sharpness. It seems very cool to me having control of felt by programming it. It could be a new printing technique in clothing. Felt has a lot of benefits; it’s ecologic, pure, natural, not flammable, moisture-proof, etc.

| |
| − | As a fashion designer it is not enough anymore to only have knowledge about trends, fabric, color, shapes, sewing etc. The modern technology is playing a big part in fashion nowadays. We have to know weaving- and embroidery techniques, working with a 3D-printer and lasercutter, etc. The sector widens with all these new techniques. Technology gives fashion the opportunity to grow and vice versa. All together fashion always stays surprising.
