“…For instance, the biologically analogous soft interface pheB [43] can sense human respiration and initiate organic breathing movements through varied inflation patterns to calm users down and evoke fascination and mystery. Similarly, the digital garment Caress of Gaze [44] mimics animals' social behaviours. It has an auxetic cellular-structured system such as the scales of animal skins, which can sense the gaze of onlookers and change shapes to attract the wearer's attention and self-awareness expressively.…”

To promote a resilient user-product relationship for sustainable fashion, design methods for emotional durability are required. Digitally transformable fashion design can be seen as a practical approach that enables dynamic, sensory, experiential, and emotional interaction. Literature shows that features of transformable fashion and textiles, such as versatility, perceived quality, biomorphic forms, and aesthetics, can induce emotional durability in users. However, mainstream works are conducted from function-oriented and technology-led perspectives, neglecting the significance of fashion design as a creative and affective role. To fill the gap, we present exhaustive accounts of two autobiographical design projects as case studies: Pneum-Muscle, a body-worn pneumatic wearable, and E-coral, an artistic interactive textile installation. We utilised the first-person soma design method to facilitate the iterative design and unfold the emotional connection between the user and the materials. We contribute technology-embedded fashion design strategies to inspire novice fashion designers, which involve dynamic draping, ambiguous cutting, and sewing technique-based pneumatic systems. Design guidelines generated can shed new light on the artistic use of technologies, somatic design, and the emotionally durable design approach.

“…Caress of the Gaze, developed by the author, is a 3D printed cape augmented with facial and gaze tracking technology and smart materials that responds to the onlooker's gaze. 4 This project engages with broader social questions such as the male gaze on the female body. A facial tracking algorithm in this piece detects age, gender, and gaze of the onlooker.…”

Can computation be critical or will various forms of bias always be found embedded in computational systems? Could surveillances act as a form of resistance? This paper provides a theoretical refl ection on these questions and explores the notion of critical computation. It addresses the discourse of the gaze, and surveillance feminism, using some critical computational projects by way of illustration. This paper argues that critical computation integrates two strands of theory and practice in a seamless way. The theory originates from the tradition of critical theory and reveals the underlying algorithmic biases behind pervasive technologies, such as the scholarly work of Ruha Benjamin, Slavoj Zizek, and Yuval Harari. The practice uses the technology itself in a critical approach as a way to refl ect our privacy or as a strategy to undermine various forms of power structure and to promote forms of resistance such as creative works of Diller Scofi dio + Renfro, Lauren Lee McCarthy, and my own practice.This paper fi rst provides a brief theoretical context to the notion of critical computation. Then by differentiating between technological determinism and intersectional affordance, it aims to provide a lens through which to study surveillance computation. This paper attempts to avoid any form of technological determinism. Rather than rehashing arguments as to whether computation and in particular surveillance is inherently good or bad, it aims to take an "intersectional feminist affordance" approach to show what constitutes the gaze and surveillance, and to consider what strategies of resistance might prove to be effective in art and design practices.

“…If another subject moves in too close to the wearer, the dress creates a super bright glow that tells the subject to "back off" [301]. Caress of the Gaze is another example of quintessential integration of smart technology and wearable 3DP dress (shown in figure 29 (c)), designed by Iranian-American architect Behnaz Farahi, that detects people's gaze using computer vision technologies and moves parts of the dress using actuation systems [302].…”

3D printing (3DP) is one of the modern approaches in the field of manufacturing. Although this process has been known for a fair amount of time, only the recent developments have revealed its novel and true potential for applications in different manufacturing sectors. Textile, one of the basic human requirements, does more than just fulfilling the fundamental necessity of covering our body. Integrating 3DP technology in textiles has broadened the horizon of the textile world.This review explores the historical background as well as state-of-the-art developments in 3DP related to textiles and fashion. Basic ideas about fundamental textile substrates, various 3DP technologies related to textiles, different printing devices and tools, materials used as print inks, direct printing of 3D objects on various textile substrates, fabrication techniques of 3D printed textile structures, different process parameters and their impacts, tests and standards, benefits and limitations are the contents of the discussions throughout this paper. It also highlights the future aspects concerning the further implementation of 3DP technology in the textile industry.Overall, the paper draws a picture with an intention to ascertain the undeniable promise of 3DP, despite having some drawbacks, to enrich the future of the textile and fashion industry with an aim to motivate future designers and scientists towards further exploration within this field of knowledge.
