SONIC FABRIC

feat. BLESS N°45 Soundperfume engineered by Popkalab
Wed, 26.06.2013–Sun, 13.10.2013
The newly installed MAK FASHION Lab explores experimentally the reciprocal relationships between fashion and new technologies. This series begins with a site-specific installation by BLESS (Paris/Berlin) in collaboration with Popkalab (Rotterdam/Rio de Janeiro). The MAK DESIGN SPACE transforms into an interactive sonic landscape, a statement on “sonic fabric“ that appeals directly to the senses.
