Weaving Archives. Riusare, reinventare e riprogettare i dati tessili by Margherita Tufarelli, Paolo Franzo

“…The project envisaged three main phases of implementation: (1) the elaboration of a digitisation procedure which, through the creation of a digital twin, would make it possible to reconstruct the fundamental characteristics of the selected textile materials, so as to convey their qualities on a digital support; (2) the use of the models obtained for the design of transmedia content; (3) the adaptation of this content to the development of audiovisual products, such as short films, films and animation, aimed at textile education. The textile archive thus becomes a generator of data, which is transformed into a new material for fashion.…”
