Algorithmic Couture: Chimera

Fashion, which has turned to mass production and mass consumption almost at the same time as the Anthropocene, has begun to have a great influence on the natural environment. Transitioning from 19th century haute couture to the 20th century prêt-à-porter, an update to the fashion industry is vital not only for the environment, but also for ourselves.
In this work, Algorithmic Couture: Chimera, aims to speculate on a new paradigm of fashion that integrates the creativity and generative aspects of algorithms and bacteria. By pursuing the means of a “Chimera-like body”, the work is an experimental amalgamation of information and life, nature and artificiality, using biomaterial and AI (Artificial Intelligence) algorithmic aspects in the design process. Through being empathetic (and sometimes critical) of the rapid growth of information and bioengineering technology, how might we update our own perception of bodies, value and fashion?
