Unsolved Patterns - Labour and Product

Andreea Ana-Maria Pleșa, Anamaria Mihaela Vișovan, Cătălin-Cristian Botean

This video explores the relationship between labour and the product by analysing workers’ repetitive movements during the sewing process. Using artificial intelligence, these movements were mapped and transformed into a new clothing pattern. The video highlights the repetitive effort in textile production, offering an emotional view of the labour involved in creating each garment. It encourages reflection on the human value in each mass- produced garment.
