Viviana M. C. De La Barca

🐠 Ocean Wearable Leg-wing (O.W.L.) blueprint for a smartly designed ecosystem and social sustainability. It’s a wrap! During our successful collaborative exhibit at Demo Eindhoven in Dutch Design Week 2024, Viviana M. Calderón de la B. proposal with O.W.L. involved an apparel softbotic leg-wing design, to innovate our ecosystem and create custom accessories that require merging intelligent manufacturing and computer vision with current paradigms in materials. O. W. L. is both, a speculative softbotic scenario visioning a fashion accessory and soft machine with a moving robotic in smaller human scale, that enables natural edibles and aquatic food sensing to aquatic animals. O. W. L. thereby enters aspects of the environment to provide new solutions that help solve the micro- and nanoplastic sea pollution problem in the apparel industry. This, to join efforts in advancing the science, technological translation, and societal impact of educational outreach. Join us on Friday 29 November as Viviana will be joining the young creators and innovators of Demo Eindhoven PROJECT NEXTUP, with an Ideation Session platform to open discussion on social sustainability and soft skills. ✅ Save your spot!

Throughout the centuries and from culture to culture, the materials considered rare and beautiful have ranged from bones to pearls and have been turned into jewelry. Objects of personal adornment treasure for the quality of design and craft skill. These images are archeological beads and jewels from the Archaeological Museum in Kraków, Poland. They include objects placed in the rich Scythian grave of a woman part of the museum's collection since 1887. #archaeology #research

Now that Dutch Design Week 2024 is coming to a close, I'd realized I completely forgot to tell everyone that I've got a new song on Spotify! It's called consequently, and it's a little bit akin to my work at the Fashion Tech Farm for DDW. Be sure to give it a listen here: https://lnkd.in/e2G-fXws

Calderón de la B. practice, we commission young artists and designers to develop stories written, directed and produced for #development: Ocean Wearable Leg-wing O. W. L. is Viviana M. Calderón de la Barca newest Fashion Futuring short production that proposes a scenario where custom manufacturing apparel accessories are only made with natural beads, and in smaller batches when customers need them. The combination of short production cycles and high demand ensures that every wearable created will find a buyer. 📸 by Axel Nijboer featuring Revive (2024) crochet denim design by fashion stylist Eline Gommans. vmcdelabarca.online #artdirector #education #socialdesign
