Rachael Parsons: I think that what we are seeing is a lot of rhetoric around this idea
of connectiveness, and we focus on things like our mobile phones, and our social media,
these virtual ways of connecting. What I think we're also seeing is a push towards different
modes of interconnecting, engagement, back to things like physical engagement, intimate
engagement with each other and our environment.
So in Shape of Things to Come, [dis]connect, we see students really starting to explore
some of these ideas.
Georgina Luxford: Previous airport security advancements have come to a detriment of society,
because passengers have had to give up their privacy. My project aims to alleviate this
issue by using terahertz screening technology. Terahertz screening technology analyses the
participants using a chemical compound, rather than imaging processing.
Amy Chen: So my graduate collection was called truths, and I played with the idea of perspectives,
both visually and psychologically. Visually I played with lines, and strong contrasts
of black and white. Psychologically I played with the idea that we don't see things as
they are, but as we are. My target market is the modern business woman, who often look
for individuality and elegance.
Iain Sams: Basically my project's aim was to create a space in the home for in-between
clothes. People have clothes that are clean, they wear them a couple of times, they still
want to wear them but they don't have a place to put them. And often they sit on people's
floor, or the back of their chair. So this project seeks to give a home for these clothes.
Rachael Parsons The works that these students are developing seem to push towards some ideas,
some strategies, some mechanisms that actually push for new ways to connect, to interconnect,
to engage, to intersect, which we found very interesting and which we are focusing on this
interation of Shape of Things to Come.
