Research Assistant - Graphic + Web Design
Position Information
Position Availability:
Position available now until June 30th, 2025.
Research Project:
My current artistic practice explores new fashion languages in the post-Internet era. It has taken multiple forms such as a series of hypertext poetry, and virtual and physical caftans as zero-waste forms of advertisement. In the past century, the rectangle of cloth has also been a form of street advertising. Influenced by the internet, travels, popular culture, online conversation and advertising, I have developed a series of short texts titled Jeu de mots: Absurdist poetry, a creative discourse on post-hyper-consumption. The hypertext poetry represents consumed situations, visual experiences and photographic travel memories [www.jeudemots.club].
