Amsterdam based photographer Jaimie Peeters always comes up with new inspirations and started a new series called “The Girls at Home Project” where he shoots girls in their own homes. Jamie Peeters wanted the girls to feel comfortable in there own homes, and step out of the comfortzone.
CREATOR
Jamie Peeters
RULES || RESTRICTIONS
– no rules, just let the models have fun and come out of your comfortzone.
COMMENTS
I know Jamie myself and after this big project he stopped fashion photography, now he only walks around with his analog camera.
He also made this project into a book, the book is full of girls who aren’t afraid to show herself. And that is something i really love about this project, he capture the girls at the moment that makes every girl special. You can feel the vibe, how the girls are in real life, aren’t afraid to walk naked in there rooms, or only with underwear.

About
The Belgique photographer catches the interaction between the virtual world and the ‘real’ world. Inspired by films and games these people dress them selfs up to live in between those worlds of fantasy and reality, to escape the last one. they surround them selfs in a setting, were they dress their selfs up in fluffy costume’s or in a zentai suite. Charlotte catches them on photo in a different setting (in her own houser anonymous hotelroom), to show the contrast between these worlds.

-Anonymous
-has to wear a suite
-Has to be in an environment that has nothing to do with the costume.
Comments
It gave me an inside look of how this look like. It is a fascinating aspect to escape the world in a costume, some use drugs others use costumes. To catch this idea, of living in a certain way, is very interesting because you do not see this very often on the streets…right?
About
On Kawara is a Japanese conceptual artist, he was known for the “date painting” he made. From 1965 until his death in 2014, it was his life project. On the painting only the date is painted, true the years the typewriting changed and the background color . In the end there is this huge collections of paintings of date’s (3000). It is called the today series as well.
Creator
On Kawara
Rules/restrictions
1. If he could not finish the painting, for any reason, that same day. The painting had to be destroyed
2. With every painting he made, there is a newspaper article with the main subject of that particular day.
3. He uses the language and the date format of the place where he was at that particular moment.
-the date had to be exactly
in the middle.
Comments
I found it quit fascinating, to do this. It seems neurotic, one painting took 8 hours to do and this for the rest of his live. I could not find exactly why, the only thing I found that he was obsessed with number and the logic of place and time. Which I find a fascinating aspect as well. I just want to get in his head, to see how he does this. Maybe that is my I can Identify myself with this, I have my own neurotic ways.
ABOUT – The artists created this collection to portray unrealistic beauty standards that are damaging young girls. The photos depict society’s expectations of women, which are so high that even things as naturally occurring as bodily fluids are often hidden. The glitter transforms “what may be considered unladylike,” according to Altman.
CREATOR – Hannah Altman
RESTRICTIONS – Has to be glitter and has to be female.
COMMENTS – I really enjoyed this collection as it promotes a good message, it’s done in a subtle way with a deeper concept, which I like.

About
Jenny Holzer is an American conceptual artist, very political engaged with a lot of feminism. She uses text as images and she places the work in public spaces, provocation people’s reaction by quotes on the moralistic side. She actually uses the language of art.
Creator
Jenny Holzer
Rules/Restricions
– It has to be text
– It has to in public spaces
Comments
It is a good thing what she does, creating awareness and confront people. And that is something that should happen a lot more! Sometimes she uses the body as a support to her work, which brings up other matters which people do not want to talk about. And this whole public space thing really got in to a trend. The use of the digital bord is being used frequently.
ABOUT – This is an advertisement to open up the Mercedes collection, they cleverly use the body controlled feature of a chicken to demonstrate the same qualities the Mercedes collection of cars also possesses. It’s a clever and very engaging way to visualise and communicate a message to an audience.
CREATOR – The creators are Mercedes Benz.
RULES/RESTRICTIONS – Restrictions may be that they used a specified animal to compare to an inanimate object, some people may not fully understand the concept.
COMMENTS – I really enjoyed this piece of advertising as it cleverly demonstrates a strong point of interest in an extremely engaging way.

ABOUT
Photochromia is a project from “The Crated” a design studio which Madison Maxey is a part of it. For this project she worked with a company called Print All Over ( digital printing partners) to create clothing that changes patterns in response to light. The trick: photochromatic inks, which are made up of molecules that turn transparent when exposed to sunlight. The technology has been around since the mid-1800s, yet it still feels futuristic when applied to clothing. The clothing line includes baseball caps, T-shirts, sweatshirts, sweatpants, backpacks, and more.
CREATOR
Madison Maxey is a around designer. She builds prototypes, writes codes and likes in generally to experiment at the intersection of design and technology. Her interests lie between 2nd generation wearable technology, additive manufacturing and computational design. Her main focus is The Crated a Innovation studio focused on developing 2nd generation wearable technology. They Believe that the key to productive wearable tech lies within the realm of fiber science. With this in mind, they focus on performance & responsive materials and soft circuitry.
RULES/RESTRICTIONS
One of the most important rule in this project is the fact that she could realize this project with the digital printing partners Print all over me. A Online platform where everybody is able to collaborate, create and produce in real world. Another rule is the fact that Photochromia’s technological abilities are pretty basic; disappearing ink doesn’t perform nearly as many sophisticated tasks as some of Maxey’s competitors, like Ralph Lauren’s Polo Tech Shirt, which tracks biometric data from the wearer. she thinks that opening up how we think of wearable tech with projects like hers and others will help prepare people for what wearables might look like in the future.
COMMENTS
This kind of Projects are very investing in the way the designers work with new technologies and processes to create new and new ideas for the future living. For me it is wonderful that we live now in the beginning of a new post digital era where old knowledge, techniques can be combined with new never before seen technologies to create individual and innovative projects with we are able to continue through open sources and platforms.

ABOUT
In this collection the designer was using metal, foam and latex to create Memphis-influenced garments for her University of Westminster graduate collection. She chose an unusual combination of materials to create bold shapes reminiscent of furniture from the 1980s Milan-based design movement lead by designer Ettore Sottsass. The bright colours and smooth glossy textures were influence by the work of ceramic artist Ben Feiss.
Large sections of fabric were folded, pleated and sliced to reveal the layers of colour. The resulting oversized garments create a range of geometric silhouettes. Jasso Collado admitted that the garments aren’t particularly wearable in their current state, but hopes to adapt the fabrication techniques for accessories.
CREATOR
The designer of the collection is Valeska Jasso Collado
“I chose foam because it would make the voluminous but clean shapes I had in mind possible,” she said. “It also meant I didn’t have to build any kind of frame or stuffing which are more common methods to create volume for garments.”
RULES RESTRICTIONS
Materials: Latex, foam and metal
Techniques: Folded/ pleated/ sliced
Colors and Shapes: Only Bright colors inspired by Memphis interior and furniture
COMMENT
I really like the collections, i am also working with this kind of materials and i think as she is saying that these are nice materials to work with.
What i also like is the balance between shape and color. In my own work i also use fabric that is not really wearable on a daily base but that is making it so nice.
‘Jasso Collado admitted that the garments aren’t particularly wearable in their current state, but hopes to adapt the fabrication techniques for accessories.’ I think is really cool to think about wat you could do with this fabrics to make it ‘wearable’
