MYTH is a Data Design Thesis Project in collaboration with Adidas Maker Lab. It includes the collaboration with Footwearology Lab, who helped the project to develop the Parametric Design on Grasshopper, Rhinoceros and the realisation of the 3D knitted design pieces.
This project is based on the temporal nature of diverse storytelling modes, adapting to different roles based on the characters individuals portray in the grand theater of life. The objective is to comprehend the features of personal identities shaped by performative acts, accentuated and constructed through contemporary narratives intertwined with a subtle mythological essence. Thus, we developed a coding system that encapsulates our daily performances and the mythological undertones within them, generating parameterized patterns. This code manifests as textile pieces -3D Knitting- serving as costumes for the various domains of our existence. They translate our storytelling using binary systems and automated graphics.
