FORMING THE FORMULA (2017)

Draž Fall Winter 2016/17 collection was designed in collaboration with MATHEMA Institution. Their translations of mathematical formulas into colourful artistic images are applied to knitted structures. The wearable version preserves the original colour scheme, while the diversity of graphic demonstrations dictate uneven silhouettes of the garments. Black and white adaptations of paleolithic op-art patterns provide a sharp contrast. What both sources of inspiration have in common are a rationalistic approach to their material, transformation for the sake of transformation and, last but not least, regular irregularity of mathematical demonstrations, and irregular regularity of op-art patterns, which endow an organic appearance to the seemingly cold, even and repeated patterns.

International exhibition IMAGINARY -  through the eyes of mathematics exhibition was designed by German research institute Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach in 2008. In 2015, it was brought to Slovenia by MATHEMA Institution for popularisation of mathematics. Graphics are generated by open-code software tool SURFER. The paleolithic op-art patterns used are based on the work of de. Slavik Jablan, they were processed with a software program developed specifically for Draž by doc. dr. Izidor Hafner.

FORMA FORMULE (2017)

Jesensko zimska kolekcija Draž 2016/17 je nastala v sodelovanju z zavodom MATHEMA. Njihovi prevodi matematičnih formul v barvite likovne podobe so aplicirane na pleteno strukturo. V nosljivi različici ohranjajo izvirno barvno skalo, s svojo razgibanostjo pa grafični prikazi narekujejo neenotno silhueto oblačil. Oster kontrast predstavljajo črno bele obdelave paleolitskih op-art vzorcev. Oba vira inspiracije druži racionalistični pristop k materialu, transformacija zavoljo transformacije same in predvsem pravilnost v nepravilnosti matematičnih prikazov ter nepravilnost v pravilnosti op-art vzorcev, kar ohranja organski pridih za na videz hladnim, enakomerno ponavljajočim se vzorcem.

 Mednarodno razstavo IMAGINARY – through the eyes of mathematics je leta 2008 zasnoval nemški raziskovalni inštitut Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach. Leta 2015 je v organizaciji Zavoda za popularizacijo matematike MATHEMA prišla tudi v Slovenijo. Grafike generira odprtokodno programsko orodje SURFER. Uporabljeni paleolitski op-art vzorci temeljijo na delu dr. Slavika Jablana, oblikovani so bili s posebej v ta namen razvitim programom doc. dr. Izidorja Hafnerja.
