THALASSIC MASKS 6 . CONCLUSIONS
As the pandemic is changing the world, our identities, reflected in what we wear every day, are affected by that. In that sense the scope of the Thalassic Masks project goes beyond the objects themselves, but it is a reflection on how our lives are …
THALASSIC MASKS 5 . RESPONSIVE PATTERN
One aspect of the research was focused on exploring how living beings adapt, survive, and eventually thrive within aggressive environments. Natural ecosystems, through natural selection, have evolved a multitude of features and singular or collective behaviours that allowed them to survive even in the harshest …
THALASSIC MASKS 4 . PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT
Much of the work of the Co-creation phase of the Thalassic Masks project focused on developing the initial digital concept design into a working prototype. The final concept design features two components: a simple functional part, protecting mouth and nose, and an aesthetic one, a …
POSTNATURAL PROSTHESES: GRANULAR FORMATIONS AND POLYJET SAMPLES
Our Co-research phase started by experimenting with Stratasys on PolyJet 3d printing on fabric. The technology allows to augment a textile by printing three-dimensional structures onto it, whose shape, colour, transparency and flexibility can be controlled through a digital 3d model, at the resolution of …
POSTNATURAL PROSTHESES: LINEAR FORMATIONS AND POLYJET SAMPLES
Our Co-research phase started by experimenting with Stratasys on PolyJet 3d printing on fabric. The technology allows to augment a textile by printing three-dimensional structures onto it, whose shape, colour, transparency and flexibility can be controlled through a digital 3d model, at the resolution of …
POSTNATURAL PROSTHESES: THE PROTECTIVE MASK
We are Filippo Nassetti and Vincenzo Reale, and much of our work focuses on changing the notion of prostheses, from medical devices, to artworks and fashion products. Our previous work aimed at transforming artificial implants replacing missing body parts (“prostheses”), into technological extensions and augmentations …
