Fashion and Fame

“DNA, The Kardashians & The Konsequences” by Marie Clare Jones

Marie Clare Jones explores the popularity of ancestry kits and the commercialization of DNA testing. It imagines how Kylie Jenner could introduce K-DNA kits through her brand, Kylie Cosmetics, and explore the implications of widespread DNA testing through a timeline linking DNA, the Kardashians, and its consequences. The project raises important questions about DNA ownership, commercialization, and ethical implications for the future, culminating in the creation of two spoof articles where children sue their parents for irresponsible use of K-DNA Kits. Overall, it offers and questions insights into the potential uses and ethical concerns surrounding DNA in a commercial context.

2) “How the Shein influencer trip marked a turning point in the brand-sponsored vacation trend” by Jenna Benchetrit

Shein, an online store that specializes in selling clothes and shoes, is one of the largest retailers with $100 billion in sales in 2022. Known for its extremely low prices, the online shop sources directly from China. Like other fast fashion companies, Shein has faced criticism for poor working conditions, high levels of toxins in its clothes (with no commitment to using standards), and extremely high CO2 emissions (source: https://time.com/6247732/shein-climate-change-labor-fashion/).

The article discusses Shein's attempt to "greenwash" these criticisms by sponsoring and paying influencers to visit a "fake" manufacturing facility, in the hopes that they would promote Shein as "not as bad as everyone thinks." However, this move sparked a huge backlash and controversy for the influencers. This situation is critical as it highlights how such companies try to improve their image without making substantive changes.

3) “Dirty Laundry” by  Carole Frances Lung, Aditi Mayer, Minga Opazo, Alicia Piller, and Sommer Roman

The San Luis Obispo Museum of Art held an exhibition called "Dirty Laundry" focusing on the problems of fast fashion. Fast fashion makes lots of cheap clothes quickly to keep up with trends. This leads to waste and harm to people and the environment. The works in "Dirty Laundry" highlight critical design aspects by making people think about the problems of fast fashion. They use creativity to show how this industry harms the environment and people. By raising awareness the exhibition encourages viewers to think differently about the clothes they buy and the impact of their choices.

Research: Sustainable Digital Art Installations

A creative concept I wanted to implement at Northshore is an sustainable digital art installation. I find myself pondering the dearth of interactive digital art installations in Brisbane. It struck me how such a vibrant city could lack a space where technology and creativity converge to captivate and inspire.

Before listing down the places I researched, I want to emphasise what a digital art installation is. Digital installation art is a large field of activity that takes various shapes. Some resemble video installations, particularly large-scale works that use projections and live video capture. The theme of the digital art installation I want to implement in Northshore is a sustainable theme. Here are some examples

Solar Equation by Rafael Lozano-Hemmer: Solar Equation is a large-scale public art work featuring an accurate reproduction of the Sun that is 100 million times smaller than the real thing. The Light in Winter Festival in Melbourne commissioned the piece, which features the world's largest spherical balloon, custom-manufactured for the purpose, suspended over Federation Square and animated with five projectors. Solar animation on balloons is created using real-time mathematical algorithms that recreate the turbulence, flares, and sunspots found on the Sun's surface. This results in a continually changing display that never repeats itself, offering spectators a glimpse of the beautiful phenomena that may be seen on the solar surface but have only just been discovered by astronomers. Powered entirely by solar energy, Solar Equation engages viewers by allowing them to manipulate the sun's appearance through a touchscreen interface.

2. Light Barrier by Kimchi and Chips: Kimchi and Chips' work Light Barrier (2014) creates phantoms of light in the air by crossing millions of calibrated beams. The light installation generates floating visual objects that move through space as they do in time. Impressionist painters' style was driven by a fascination with natural light; they experimented with new colours and the passage of time. Kimchi and Chips' exploration of digital light explores a new visual mechanic, with their installation expanding the visual language of space and light.

3. Aqueous by Jen Lewin:

Aqueous is a series of interactive LED platforms that create light trails. During the day, the sculpture changes colour and reflects the sky. At night, AQUEOUS shines with full lit interactivity, engaging groups in a constantly changing world.

AQUEOUS is one of the first pattern-based sculptures created at this scale, inspired by the symmetry seen in natural systems. The sculpture is made up of hundreds of interactive modular platforms developed from the Golden Ratio and can be erected in a variety of configurations. Each platform is controlled by code provided by the artist, allowing them to feel human interaction independently while also linking together to produce interconnected paths of light effects.

4. Waterlicht by Daan Roosegaarde: is a dream landscape about the power and poetry of water. As a virtual flood, WATERLICHT shows how high the water level could reach. WATERLICHT is a collective experience to remind us of the importance of water innovation and the impact of climate change.

When the camera was invented, it didn’t stop people from making paintings,” says Roosegaarde. “As our world becomes hyper technological, the human desire for beauty and challenging reality – those human skills will become more important.”

Yes, AI will soon be everywhere – but it will support humans, not replace them
