Data-Driven Embroidery Souvenir
Project Name: Data-driven Embroidery Souvenir
Project Client: The University of Edinburgh, Edinburgh College of Art
Exploration: Data-Driven Innovation, the Edinburgh Festival
Year: 2019
When we go away for a holiday or festival events, we will probably come home with souvenirs, then never touch it again. My design started by asking a question that how might we design a festival souvenir beyond mass-manufacture, and focuses on carrying memory possibilities through tangible practices.
Data-Driven Embroidery Souvenir explores the design of using data-embroidery as a new medium of personalized souvenirs in the context of Edinburgh Festival Fringe. More precisely, the design creates visual data patterns and embroiders onto personal items.
The project combines digital and material practices, challenges the traditional three-dimension souvenir, encourages a sustainable lifestyle and aims to translate digital data onto tangible textiles as meaningful souvenirs.
One of the visual pattern example is based on the map route and the visiting duration per shows, it states that sharing family activities and time in the Festival. Additionally, the representation of Edinburgh Castle will be presented in any the Festival Fringe embroidery pattern as a symbolization.
Keywords: Data Physicalization, Sustainable Design, Souvenir, Digital Fabrication, Edinburgh Festival Fringe
