Reshape 2017 - Wearable technology competition
Современные электронные технологии за последние годы проникли в самые разнообразные области человеческой жизни, в том числе в сферу моды и красоты. Участникам конкурса необходимо предложить оригинальные дизайн-концепции так называемых нательных гаджетов, которые сегодня получили широкое распространение. Тема этого года звучит как «Программируемая кожа». Фантазия конкурсантов ничем не ограничена, однако идеи должны быть потенциально реализуемыми и соответствовать рыночным тенденциям.
Zooming to materials’ nanoscale has led to big inventions in the fields of biology, medicine, and material engineering. In the Information age, technology emerges rapidly providing scientists with more accurate tools to hack existing materials or to create new ones with customized/tailored properties. Materials designed by nature or able to adjust to environmental conditions are now a reality.
Fascinated by these new advances, fashion design has been enriched with smart materials, 3d printed techniques, microorganisms and bacteria, aiming to promote environmental awareness or interactive behaviours either through wearables’ usage or through their fabrication process.
Wearables are becoming an active, supplemental skin that not only protect our body but also facilitate functions such as growth, movement, respiration and nutrition or rehabilitate the environment. Becoming a new medium able to regulate the relation between our body and its surroundings, wearables can now collect and exchange information producing dynamic outputs. Reshape aims to enhance these impulses in fashion design, proposing a new challenge to makers and designers: RESHAPE 17 | Programmable Skins Competition. The proposals will focus on wearables as a prosthetic skins providing augmented functions. RESHAPE 17 goes beyond ubiquitous computing, towards integrated and holistic strategies with the objective to move beyond electronics, in favor of programmable materials.
We seek for innovative yet feasible design ideas that can be proved by prototypes. Interdisciplinary processes and experimentation are vital for RESHAPE 17 competition, therefore there is no design and fabrication limitations.
