This is my Least Favourite thing I have Ever read.

"Ingels and Vollebak designed the house for Leader Island, which has been rebranded Vollebak Island."

"-for Leader Island, which has been rebranded Vollebak Island."

"-which has been rebranded Vollebak Island."

I love BIG architects but BY GOD what the fuck

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.

4) Smog Free Project by Daan Roosegaarde

Led by Daan Roosegaarde, the SMOG FREE PROJECT is an urban innovation project that showcases the aesthetic value of clean air. Roosegaarde crafts SMOG FREE RINGS from compressed smog particles gathered from the SMOG FREE TOWER (world's first smog vacuum cleaner which creates clean air parks). You can donate the city 1000 m3 of clean air by sharing the SMOG FREE RING.

It is currently included in the permanent collections of the National Museum of Zurich, Utah Museum of Fine Arts USA, Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam, and The Biosphere Environment Museum in Montreal.

5) Solar-Powered Jacket by Vollebak:

The Solar Charged Jacket is made of a highly adaptable material that can be quickly charged and made to glow in the dark by any kind of light you can find. For example, a phone flashlight can be used to draw on it. You can use sunlight to charge it. If it is fully charged it glows completely. The piece deals with fashion's functionality and sustainability while presenting creative responses to environmental issues.

Today we had another group crit / 5 minute presentation with 5 minutes of questions and feedback from the rest of the group. I presented where I am up to and where my work is going, along with what my thesis proposal is currently looking like. I made notes during the 5 minutes of feedback which is shown in the image above. Miro is a platform that Leon uses which basically an infinite brainstorming programme where you can make flow charts or mind maps etc. I made a note of it because I thought it was really interesting and it might be something I look into using in the future.

Light - Janie suggested I experiment with light and projections to go alongside my weavings and stitched canvases. I want to explore colour theory and colour psychology so she suggested I explore projecting light onto white weavings. This way I would be able to play with different colours from one weave and see how it makes me feel. The Baker-Miller Pink study was seen to have effects within only 15 minutes so it would be interesting to see how quickly my emotions changed, well, how or if they even changed after looking after a weaving projected in blue for example.

Haywood Exhibition - Karen mentioned the Haywood exhibition that is currently on in London and suggested that I go down to see it myself. She showed images of some of the installations which had bright LED type lights that faded from pink to purple, it created a full immersive experience whilst looking at the sculptural art in the centre of the room. I am going down to see my sister-in-law at the end of March who lives in Windsor, so all being well, we might travel into London to see some exhibitions.

Pink Noise - Jake and Molly both mentioned me looking at pink noise. I have already heard of this concept after reading about Vollebak’s hoodie as it has a built in soundtrack of pink noise. Pink noise is commonly used to help with sleep, it is similar to white noise - a continuous hum which can be calming as it blocks out background noise.

Colour Psychology - again I was encouraged to look into colour psychology and I am going to after my holiday using Google scholar and wider reading books.

Anish Kapoor - Cam said I should look into Anish Kapoor’s online art war. From what Cam explained, it was a ‘Vantablack Controversy’ as many people thought he was stealing from the art community by buying rights to Vantablack.

My Question - at the end of my presentation, Karen said I need to condense my overall question because it is too broad. I knew this but I didn’t want to limit myself too much with only Baker-Miller Pink as the subject, this is because I feel it would be more difficult to conduct my own experiments as it is harder to source that exact shade of pink in textiles. I could probably get personalised yarn or thread however, I can imagine that it would be very costly to get it made and I am not in the financial place. I am now thinking about ways in which I can condense this question so it is not as broad but so it is still interesting with room to investigate and complete wider reading.

Real-life ‘invisibility coat’ could be available within years

The hottest new jacket to be seen in could be one that no one sees you in at all. The UK-based brand revealed new technology designed to make humans invisible to infrared cameras by using graphene — a flexible, transparent and highly conductive material. Vollebak, along with the University of Manchester, developed a prototype of a thermal jacket that could pave the way for a new type of…
