Plastic spikes made out of printed clear film joined by acrylic discs and tiny silver rings make up the "personal aura" of Maiko Tekada's millinery collection, Atmospheric Reentry. The designer wishes to incorporate in the collection the environment such as the wind or gravity and "create an experience of wonder and bewilderment for the adorned"- MT. To put it in another way, the wearer must be aware of the surroundings through the pieces he wears. Light and darkness play a role as well as the jewelry lights up when dark. Millinery will never be the same..

The enormous installation 'In Orbit' by Tomás Saraceno, entitled “in orbit,” was assembled in the Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen in Germany, last year. The structure is made of a suspended net at a hight of 20 meters, covering more than 2500 m² and visitors can climb and walk on it as if they are floating. The component was created based on numerous studies of the spider net. Another element that weaves the installation altogether is a series of airfilled PVC spheres. They are impressive for both they size (8.5 m in diameter) and for their weight (up to 300 kg each) and they are interpreted as soap bubbles. The artist wants to give the impression of lightness, floating space. “When I look at the multilayered levels of diaphanous lines and spheres, I am reminded of models of the universe that depict the forces of gravity and planetary bodies. For me, the work visualizes the space-time continuum, the three-dimensional web of a spider, the ramifications of tissue in the brain, dark matter, or the structure of the universe. With ‘in orbit,’ proportions enter into new relationships; human bodies become planets, molecules, or social black holes.” Photos via tomassaraceno.com
 The jewelry collection "Digital Noise" by Jasmina Jovy has it's basis on digital designing techniques such as generative design, direct printing on metal and computerized weaving looms. Because of the patterns that arw generated on a large-scale and then printed on metal chains, the illusion of noise is created visually when moving while worn. At the core of the concept lies the idea of chaos, created by algorithm. The entire collection is based on a method called generative design. The structure is no longer designed, a series of processes are programmed through parametric modeling to generate shape, vvolume and eventually structure. Repetitiveness is what creates the noise, alongside body movement. "My intention was to work with the greatest possible coincidence. With the generative design tool I was able to deposit forms which grow in the chaos as fast as possible." Thus, by using laser-trimming, casting resins, printing and synthetic weaving, clear and graphic shapes derived from traditional jewellery bringing to life a new, innovative design concept.
