Abstract [en]

This project uses digital technology to interpret the human body as a malleable material for the development of sculptural and textile-based design. Mikhail Bakhtin’s definition of the grotesque human body lays the conceptual groundwork for using the human body as an interactive tool, that co-shapes itself with digital technology as an extension. The technology has been given agency to affect the creative outcome, rather than treating it as a means to an end. By 3D scanning the designer’s own body, and manipulating photographic documentation of it, through algorithmic interpretations, the morpho- logical transformations of the designer’s body, in multiple realities, were investigated while reflecting on its influence on self-perception. The investigated methods resulted in alternative bodily structures carved in polystyrene, and dressed in hybrid materials of transfer-printed textiles and bio-plastic. The design outcomes suggests a design method wherein agency is given to digital technology which allows for exploring unexpected ways of perceiving the human body.
