Danielle Wilde Danielle Wilde researcher, performance, fashion, fine art, critical, interaction design
Artist and design researcher at Monash University Faculty of Art and Design (Melbourne, Australia) and the CSIRO Division of Materials Science and Engineering (Belmont, Australia). Undertaking practice-based doctoral research, investigating how technology might be paired with the body to poeticise experience, and what this might mean. Research sits at the nexus of performance, fashion, fine art, critical (technology) and interaction design.

FASHION-able. hacktivism and engaged fashion design Otto von Busch (School of Design and Crafts (HDK) Faculty of Fine, Applied and Performing Arts University of Gothenburg) 2008 open source fashion, hacktivism, reverse engineering, book
Thesis: This thesis consists of a series of extensive projects which aim to explore a new designer role for fashion. It is a role that experiments with how fashion can be reverse engineered, hacked, tuned and shared among many participants as a form of social activism. This social design practice can be called the hacktivism of fashion. It is an engaged and collective process of enablement, creative resistance and DIY practice, where a community share methods and experiences on how to expand action spaces and develop new forms of craftsmanship. In this practice, the designer engages participants to reform fashion from a phenomenon of dictations and anxiety to a collective experience of empowerment, in other words, to make them become fashion-able. As its point of departure, the research takes the practice of hands-on exploration in the DIY upcycling of clothes through “open source” fashion “cookbooks”. By means of hands-on processes, the projects endeavour to create a complementary understanding of the modes of production within the field of fashion design. The artistic research projects have ranged from DIY-kits released at an international fashion week, fashion experiments in galleries, collaborative “hacking” at a shoe factory, engaged design at a rehabilitation centre as well as combined efforts with established fashion brands. Using parallels from hacking, heresy, fan fiction, small change and professional-amateurs, the thesis builds a non-linear framework by which the reader can draw diagonal interpretations through the artistic research projects presented. By means of this alternative reading new understandings may emerge that can expand the action spaces available for fashion design. This approach is not about subverting fashion as much as hacking and tuning it, and making its sub-routines run in new ways, or in other words, bending the current while still keeping the power on.
Katherine Moriwaki Katherine Moriwaki fashion, technology, media, art, school, Parsons, professor, research
Katherine Moriwaki is an Assistant Professor of Media Design in the School of Art, Media, and Technology at Parsons School of Design in New York City. As faculty at Parsons Katherineís focus is on interaction design and artistic practice. She teaches core curriculum classes in the M.F.A. Design + Technology Program where students engage a broad range of creative methodologies to realize new possibilities in interactive media. Katherine is also currently completing a Ph.D. in the Networks and Telecommunications Research Group at Trinity College Dublin, which examines the intersection between fashion, technology, and creative practice.

The Edward S. Rogers SR. Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (University of Toronto) university, school, diy, electrical engineering
We offer undergraduate programs in Electrical Engineering and Computer Engineering. Our teaching laboratories provide unique hands-on opportunities to build things and we teach engineering from the "you-must-do-it-yourself" perspective. In addition, our faculty members are engaged in cutting-edge research and we offer opportunities for graduate student training that are among the best in the world. With over 70 professors and 400 graduate students, this department is practically "buzzing" with innovative research ideas and projects. This, in turn, benefits our undergraduate program, enriching the course content and providing valuable research experiences for our eager undergrads.
