We live in the most exciting era of humanity: never before has technology been more available, supportive and powerful to turn our ideas into reality.
Re-FREAM gives artists and designers access to new production technology, new materials, and know-how to co-create innovative fashion concepts with scientists.
Accept the challenge to Re-Think our processes, traditions, production methods, design and the functionality of fashion.
In three spaces, each of the 20 artists will receive 55.000 EUR funding for co-creating innovative art concepts with us (scientists) within a 9-month-period. These three hubs are based in Valencia, Linz and Berlin and will be your co-creation space for at least one third of the project duration.
The second call will be published in 2020.
Re-FREAM is an invitation to artists and designers to join and
submit a project proposal within the following research challenges:
From analog to connected
The integration of electronics into textiles enables new possibilities of how we can communicate with each other in the post-smartphone era and find new ways of interaction between our bodies and our environment.

From 2D to 3D
Traditionally, the predominant use of textiles as fashion materials has led to the development of 2D pattern-making methods for dressing the complex shape of the three-dimensional human body. Nowadays, digital design tools allow us to design easily and 3D print complex shapes for the human body.

From linear to sustainable circular systems
Nature works in cycles - nothing is wasted, everything is reused. In contrast, the textile industry operates in a linear way, leading to extreme wastefulness and pollution.

In three co-creation spaces, each of the 20 artists will receive 55.000 EUR funding for co-creating innovative art concepts with scientists within a 9-month period. The three hubs are based in Valencia, Linz and Berlin, and will be your co-creation spaces for at least one third of the project duration.
In the hubs, we provide access to different fields of expert technology and co-creation facilitation services, as well as network and knowledge opportunities to accelerate the selected projects from the call and help them grow. An international jury will evaluate the artistic and technical content of your applications, paying close attention to the design, technological and business concepts, and professional background.
Re-FREAM invites you for an ART-TECH exchange before the submission deadline. Re-Think your concept together with scientists and discover the possibilities of novel technologies in meet ups.
The latest manufacturing technologies are currently changing not only fashion itself, but also design and production methods. Technological advances are about to change processes in development, material design, production and several other fields within this industry.
The Mission of Re-FREAM is for artists and designers to co-explore digitally-enabled, small-scale production/manufacturing systems by inviting them to tinker and experiment in an fully geared-up infrastructure and community-supportive environment. We invite serendipity to embrace the unseen and the unthought of, and to explore and pioneer, together.
