FASHION-able

(Jacob Rumans) #1

To sum up all these diverse process lines, we have had
to follow several process lines that intersect with the
abstract machine of hacktivism. This has taken us
from the hands-on reflection of action research, by
way of artistic interventions aiming at social change
to tactic lines of amateur open source engaged
projects. We have seen lines diffract to reveal poten-
tiality and how all these lines form a meshwork that
provides a form of rhizomatic validity. We have end-
ed with attempts to re-design design practice and
seen recent endeavours to frame new dynamic ap-
proaches to design where organic collaborations and
symbiotic practices have been prototyped. All these
lines can help us see the projects throughout this
thesis in a new light, but perhaps most importantly
they can amplify the hands-on practices of other de-
signers. This is a modest proposal that can add to the
further development of both design practice and de-
sign education.
