FAST FORWARD for Liquid Frontiers @ Kunstlerhaus Wien April-June (1999)

Less interested in fashion per se, the exhibition prefers to focus on, firstly, the ideas and experiments which are developed in the name of fashion or emerge as a result of its suggestive power and, secondly, the communication of these ideas to a mass audience. In the place of clothes, Fast Forward exhibits examples of the use of fashion in such media as film, video, photography, illustration, animation or architecture as a means of addressing the new forms of collaboration between fashion designers and practitioners of other creative disciplines.

Simon Thorogood - Digital Runway (1999-2002)

Digital Runway was an interactive installation that acted as an interface to the inspiration and working processes behind the ‘White Noise’ collection, and aimed to expose and illustrate elements of a design procedure not normally transparent.

By physically engaging with the runway – walking, running up and down, or jumping for example – audiences would trigger a series of computer-stored visual resources that would be screen projected. The user(s) are then able to change and curate imagery, creating ever-changing combinations and associations, or in other words physically VJ’ing a design story.
