FLAUNT - The Generation Issue

To find your individuality during this digital age, is by being outrospective, which
is looking past yourself to understand others and pursue a path of empathy and
collaborating it with the power of design and creativity. This is evident in the
creative work of Madisun Moon and professional knit and weaver, Matt Bobbins.
The two collaborated to create this collection of layered knits, wovens, and digital
printed fabrics. The various woven pieces that constructs most of the fabric were
made by Matt, after Madisun told him about her concept for her pieces and the
color story. As a person of the Y Generation, Madisun embraces technology for
what it is and accepts that it is unpredictable because it is ultimately a machine,
and at any point, can gLitCh.
She also looks at its relevance in another perspective; her grandmother Georgia
is diagnosed with severe Alzheimer’s. Although, we are not built like computers,
nor meant to be turned into one, we too can glitch and lose bits and pieces of our
memory drive. Every once in while though, we recovery a file that we thought
was lost, and it always holds something that you want to ‘save’ forever.
Remember this digital era is still very new, leaving plenty of room for mistakes
and risk. If we learn to slow down in this fast-paced, interconnected world, maybe
we would see things a little clearer. It’s only a matter of time before you run into
another little gLitCH.
