today and tomorrow

Almost a month ago I posted Pa++ern, a project by Daito Manabe and Motoi Ishibashi. I basically allows you to twitter a t-shirt design to an embroidery machine. The design has to be coded in a specific language which you try out here. I guess this little documentary by Matron shows you what’s it all about.

This is my shot at it: (<^<^<^<^<^<^<^)(i),.((+>> >+v > ^^^^),,…(<<<<<),,<<(v),vv),…
So this would be the first official today and tomorrow t-shirt, I hope I can buy one soon.

Here are a few more examples of finished t-shirts.

A few weeks ago I received a small package with this t-shirt from Paul Snowden.
REPOST MY ASS
Thanks Paul!
If you like big type on a t-shirt, then check his WASTED GERMAN YOUTH label.

Pa++ern is a new project by Daito Manabe and Motoi Ishibashi. They basically hooked up an embroidery machine with Twitter. A special language was developed to encode designs in the 140 character limit of Twitter. I guess the images below show you how it works.
You can go and see it from this Saturday on at the Beams Gallery in Tokyo.

On the left you can see the tweet: [ <<<^],+[vv],[^],+[>],[v], >>+n[^],[>],vvv[<],vvv+[n>], >>+[^],, >>+[v],, [>^<]>,>n+[>],[v],[<n],[^].
And on the right the graphical translation.

Of course, some more complex designs are possible too.

Keith Hancox is graphic designer, who has a friend who suffers from seasonal affective disorder (s.a.d). So he designed this t-shirt for him, where the sun image is over printed with black heat sensitive ink which turns transparent at 32ºc. Very neat.
