MINDFILES

ARCHITECTURAL WOMENSWEAR, LINGERIE AND ACCESSORIES

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 13, 2015 8PM AT MILK STUDIOS, NYC

The Chromat Autumn/Winter 2015 Collection explores the transfer of human consciousness to new forms, utilizes artificial intelligence and expands the concepts of innovator Martine Rothblatt's post-human Mindfiles to envision an entirely (wo)man-made, synthetic world of bionic bodies. In this world, garments function as artificial augmentation and enhancements of the human body. Chromat utilized 3D-printing technology as well as optical amplification through laser diodes to simulate synthetic neuron connections within the brain.

The AW15 Collection imagines a world where garments transcend biology through technology, augment the human body through chemically synthetic processes, and improve and enhance the natural process of the human body and physical environment.
