Artistic research as hacking: Analysing similarities of modes and methods through the observation of the experimental fashion project T-Typo

Authors

Martina Alia Mascia

Synopsis

The article connects hacker culture with artistic research in fashion, highlighting how both areas share methods of producing and disseminating knowledge. Three key connecting points are highlighted: the unfinished thinking; the exploration phase through trial-and-error; the undisciplined use of tools. These shared elements are further emphasized by analyzing the experimental fashion project T-typo, which employs an artistic research methodology resulting in a form of hacking design practice. In T-typo, the shared key features between hacking and artistic research are identified and observed from a fashion design perspective.
