A failed hand exercising object
from the research project DAAN (Design Ambient Adaptive Environments)
at Design Research Lab, Berlin University of the Arts
The prototypes are a collection of sensor samples and shapes that were developed in the frame of an academic research consortium on «Ambient Assisted Living.» As e-textile designers our interests, from the start of the research, focused greatly on material and interaction explorations. We got enthusiastic about industrially knitted stretch sensors and investigated screenprinting with thermochromic inks as ambient notification channel.
Despite our practical knowledge the project failed from a lack of a conceptual background and unstable premises. Indeed, this object's identity was never properly defined and remained somewhere in between a therapeutic object, a musical instrument and a friendly technological pet…
We understood that a design artifact can not perform in any satisfying manner if it does not address a clear research question. After we had recognised it, the failure helped us to get back to a stronger methodological approach to pursue with the research.

Interview
-What does Fashion ecology mean to you ? how does it influence your design practice?:
*
-What are the methods and techniques explored during the masterclass?:
* prototyping/ assemble a 555 etextile synthetizer from a kit with necessary parts
* iron on a circuit - solder electronic parts -
* copy the example, pay attention to some polarities
> Through hands-on workshop I intend to open minds and give keys for people to get started or at least get convinced that everybody has a say in it, by making it themselves - hopefully with low costs.
-How do you see the relation between e-textiles and sustainability nowadays? and how do you address it in this workshop?:
* WICKED FABRICS http://etextile-summercamp.org/2017/summercamp/discussion/
* I understand sustainbility for etextiles at different levels. It relates to environmental concerns of course, but also to our everyday practice and furthermore the social impact we can make.
* Questionning the current and future projections while defining and spreading best practices is for me the most relevant priority.
* the presentation was meant for inspiration and to open minds while the hands-on workshop was rather a traditional etextile one, without LEDs though.
of course I had to make compromises because of limited time > had to prepare all the parts before hand,
> Concretely during the masterclass I had to make compromises because of time limitation, cleanliness of the hosting Atelier Néerlandais. As for the waste generated by this I saved it for a project this summer, and in general I don´t through away conductive parts ...

¶ Panel discussion
" You can prepare the following questions since the discussion will focus on the relation between nature and technology and the potential of bio-tech and digitalisation when it comes to sustainability and a fashion ecology. "
- What's in your "nature-toolkit"? What does it mean to look at nature? :
* harvesting - flânerie > always have to bring something back (a shell from the beach, a stone from the river, a wood stick from the forest...)
* DIY conductive materials > gold leaves (hobby shop)
*
- How does fashion tech relate to nature? :
* inspiration
* material innovation
*
- Examples of your work / projects related to biotech / digitalisation:
* design fiction (etextile rituals, la mère ceremony)
* waste is beautiful
- What's the role of technology in that? :
* can technology and its accessibility/ democratization allow for reconnecting us to nature?
*

Abstract: This paper will discuss the development of a body-worn interface facilitating the communication between humans and their environment. The aim is to allow the wearer to understand the state of their natural environment through an extended state of embodiment. First, it will discuss our motivation for sustainability and the need to change our anthropocentric attitude to a more holistic one which includes the natural environment. Then, it will discuss how clothing can be seen as an immediate way of embodiment, and how computational technology and connection to the Internet of Things can contribute to the development of wearable interfaces which expand our notion of the human body to include our natural environments. It will then introduce the BIOdress, a body-worn interface facilitating interspecies communication with a goal to create an expanded network of embodiment. The overall objective is to encourage human empathy beyond the anthropocentric towards more sustainable development.
