| Description: | Black Hack Chat was a collaborative workshop co-designed for the 10th EAD conference (Gothenburg, April 2013) and combined Earley's Black Hack approach with Old is the New Black (2010) where Jen Ballie and Otto von Busch re-worked old clothes using black paint. The aim of the EAD workshop was to push the boundaries of textile design practice through co-design, to identify how it can be used as a tool for citizen engagement for both the individual creating for themselves, and the retailer who wishes to creatively engage with their products over a longer time frame. In the run up to the event I created the Fractal Shirt using a domestic iron and some folded and cut black transfer paper. With a tripod set up over the table I made the Shirt Film to capture the process and serve as a demonstration tool at the workshop - which I co-facilitated via Skype. |
