Random
Random is an experimental pattern design project which grew up from thinking about an old and through centuries unchanged crafting technique - patchwork. By looking at classical principals of pattern design process for patchwork-making, I found that most of the time it involves basic geometrical forms, mathematical precision, repetition, symmetry and careful planning.
By asking myself how a contemporary patchwork could look like today, I tried to rethink those principals and involve some spontaneity and playfulness to the process of pattern design.
Pattern generator built using Processing programming language is a tool which makes accidental geometrical form and colour combinations involving randomness, therefore an element of suprise to the design process.
Fabrics used for garments are various jersey bits from upcycled second-hand T-shirts.
Computer program is developed in collaboration with Paulius Friedt
