Bond
An Immersive Interactive Phy-gital Underwear
Collaboration between Mercy (Merve Akdogan) and Røst Underwear
Time: 2021
This two-color collab set was hand-dyed and screen printed as an immersive interactive phyigital underwear in Turkey/ Istanbul. We included an additional interactive element in this piece that, when scanned through the QR code we screen printed, will open a portal onto our bodies! It is a collective spirit of our community as an abstracted video animation named "Bond" and expresses how we experience our feeling/ post-traumatic effects in our system as experiencing it through our identity and embodied spirit.
