‘I’d rather be in a dark silence than’is a signal isolation/blocking trench coat and the first piece from Ania Catherine and Dejha Ti’s Privacy Collection.
Created in collaboration with fashion designer Barbara
@sanchez_kane and
@mocda_ the coat merges conceptual art, fashion, and function. The visually absurd pockets are lined with military grade fabric to keep wireless technologies offline—a technique primarily used in law enforcement and digital forensics. Devices and RFID objects sealed in the dark pockets are unable to be reached, traced, hacked, nor monitored.
For this multimedia interpretation of the coat, Ti and Catherine collaborated with Berlin-based artists and fellow artists-in-residence to translate the work into other outputs, culminating in an environmental tapestry. They worked with
@evelyn_bencicova on a photo series, and created a short film with
@mkornai featuring
@da.do.di.du . An AR filter by Aaron Jablonski
@exitsimulation is discoverable in the space, which is also used in the film. These works demonstrate the coat’s capability to withdraw the wearer’s identity. The exhibition score includes pieces from
@amontobin ,
@tonycruise_ with words written/performed by Cruise entitled Privacy is Fake Now.
