Unwoven memories
IED Barcelona - Student: Thinh Truong
Academic year
2022/2023
“Unwoven Memories” is a project that explores the memories of the residents of Colonia Güell in a bid to turn them into a new form of ‘language’ that translates into a book of memoirs.
The student selected 260 objects and codified them using binary code to create patterns that are represented in the form of a physical tapestry that connects collective experiences. An audiovisual projection generated from the values assigned to these objects reminds us of everything that surrounds us that we cannot see.
Finally, the student generated the letters of a new typeface using this same code.
The project won several awards and participated in different events around the world:
- Winner of the Francesco Morelli Grant 2023
- Gold Thesis in Digital - ADG Laus 2024
- Thesis Winner - Brut! Festival
- Shortlist - Global Design Graduate Show by ArtThreads
- Exhibited at Sónar+D 2024
The project will take part on Design Shangai 2025 exhibition from June 4 to 7 at booth 1D73. Don't miss it!
