This exhibition is co-created by Year One students (2021/22) from the department of Fashion and Textile in The Royal Academy of Art, The Hague (KABK) after attending a series of lectures examining the historical study of Fashion & Textile design from constructivistic perspectives.
This exhibition showcases a spectrum of practice-based research, ranging from imagined narratives from the past; to observations on the global cultural impact of (digital) fashion and music; to attempts in addressing gaps of knowledge and imbalances in the eco-system of fashion & textile in the past, present & future.
In order to preserve the ephemeral nature of students' explorations in art & design education setting and in the spirit of Arturo Escobar's vision on the Pluriverse, students are given the freedom to propose their topic of choice and to deepen their knowledge as independently as possible. Guidance was given only when sought. In line with retaining the integrity of students' works, no interventions were made to student' contributions in this exhibition.

Creativity at the crossroads of Neuroscience, Artificial Intelligence, Gaming, Alternative Economies, and Humanism, will be discussed by leading voices from the international scene at DIGITAL RITES and EMBODIED MEMORIES, EU4ART_differences Doctoral Summer School.
A group of researchers from different European capitals will meet in the Monastery of Casa San Silvestro in Monte Compatri (Rome Province) for an intensive program that will take them, and their research, to the limit between physical and digital space.
Since the talks and workshops organized by The Fine Arts Academy of Rome mean to contribute on the currently relevant debate on art practice and new technologies, the series of webinars will be free and open to the public through a registration link.

In the last few years museums and art galleries, as well as a growing number of artists embraced Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) as a new digital mode of exposing, producing, and distributing art. Based upon digitised assets, NFTs are embedded in blockchains: decentralised networks of information exchange on which different kinds of data can be stored without a centralised controlling entity. While commonly associated with cryptocurrencies and financial ledgers of transactions, blockchain technology can support many other types of data (including visual, audio, and video files). For the arts, blockchain might bring radical changes to the ways in which art is generated, communicated, disseminated, and transacted. Despite its vertiginous expansion, the blockchain revolution is happening under the radar of many people and institutions.
With this seminar, the research group MetamusicX (at Orpheus Institute) launched research on NFTs in relation to artistic research. The seminar aimed at mapping the field, exploring the potential of blockchain for music creation, and launching the basis for a blockchain network at the service of artistic research.

This exposition is in progress and its share status is: visible to all.
This podcast is a casual conversation between two fashion and textile students, Simon and Hiro. In it, they discuss various topics relating both to fashion and textile history, their relevance within today's industries, and the value they might bring in the future. The first episode touches upon the significance of NFTs in fashion and how brans might choose to integrate digital fashion alongside physical products. In the second part of the podcast, the students dive into the origin of fashion illustrations and the interesting position illustrations have come to have in today's fashion industry.
