Re-FREAM Call 2020

Apply until September 30, 2020

Hasta el miércoles, 30 de septiembre de 2020 a las 23:59

Re-FREAM is a research project that invites artists and designers to connect with scientists on common ground to rethink the manufacturing process of the fashion industry.

This supercollision of ideas will give way to unforeseen ideas and a new aesthetic that is human-centered, inclusive and sustainable. Re-FREAM is a pillar of the STARTS Programme (Science + Technology + Arts), an initiative of the European Commission under the Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme.

PROJECT

Selected artists and technologists commit during a nine-month period (part face-to-face and part online) to a co-research and co-create process together by using Re-FREAM’s Art/Tech Collaboration methodology on specific technology challenges.

Artists and Designers will be asked to re-think their work in a more scientific way. Vice versa, scientists will be required to re-think their research in a more artistic way. Both groups will benefit from mutual learning and empowerment.

CHALLENGES

The focus of the research is on the future of urban manufacturing of fashion by using additive manufacturing (3D printing), electronics and textile and eco-innovative finishing together with social and environmental values to create a new value chain for the fashion industry.

The three areas of research will be carried out at three different European scientific hubs (Linz, Valencia, Berlin). Each hub follows one of the following research challenges:

From analog to connected

The integration of electronics into textiles enables new potentials of how we communicate in the future with each other in the post-smartphone era and to find new ways of interaction between the human body and its 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 easily design 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.

ADDRESSED TO

Artists and designers to co-create innovative fashion concepts together with researchers using novel production technology.
Artists and designers from all over the world are welcome to submit their proposals for the second call.
