About Anouk Wipprecht:

What does fashion lack? “Microcontrollers” according to Dutch based fashiontech designer and innovator Anouk Wipprecht. As she is working in the emerging field of “fashionable technology”; a rare combination of fashion design combined with engineering, science and interaction/user experience design, she created an impressive body of tech-enhanced designs bringing together fashion and technology in an unusual way. She creates technological couture; with systems around the body that tend towards artificial intelligence; projected as ‘host’ systems on the human body, her designs move, breath, and react to the environment around them.

Anouk Wipprecht - CODAME Featured Artist

What does fashion lack? “Microcontrollers” according to Dutch based fashiontech designer and innovator Anouk Wipprecht. As she is working in the emerging field of “fashionable technology”; a rare combination of fashion design combined with engineering, science and interaction/user experience design, she created an impressive body of tech-enhanced designs bringing together fashion and technology in an unusual way. She creates technological couture; with systems around the body that tend towards artificial intelligence; projected as ‘host’ systems on the human body, her designs move, breath, and react to the environment around them.

Part futuristic, part anime-meets-high fashion, her aesthetics are set apart from more utilitarian wearables (which are all about function) and can be considered artistic creations in themselves. Many of her designs have been exhibited in exhibitions as well as fashion events. In Anouk’s designs the technology creates the aesthetics as opposed to simply enhancing a function which is hidden. Keen on showing the nuts and bolts of the garments (often the valves and mechanisms are displayed on the outside) we witness the designs creating their own unique forms of interaction, movement and meaning.

Wipprecht is an artist, designer, curator and lecturer (Netherlands, China, Austria) in electronic couture, worked for names as the Black Eyed Peas, SuperBowl 2011, Eurovision 2012, with work featured in international magazines. She is the brainchild and curator of the TECHNOSENSUAL ‘Where Fashion meets Technology’ exhibition, with attached Artist in Residency program to stimulate the grow of fashiontech projects coupling fashion designers and engineers together, that took place in Vienna/Austria over the summer of 2012 and attracted 32.000 visitors in a two and a half month time span.

She is currently based in Vienna/Austria, and travels between Amsterdam (NL), Los Angeles (USA), San Francisco (USA) and Montreal (CA).

COLD VOID: Featuring Rafaël Rozendaal and Luuk Bouwman

An interactive art exhibit and musical debut of renowned internet artist Rafaël Rozendaal and Dutch electronic musician Luuk Bouwman.

The exhibition at KK Los Angeles is the first time Cold Void performs, in a non-performative way. At the heart of the show is a self playing automaton marimba that will play the duo’s ‘scary keyboard music’ in sync with video art pieces that were created for each of the tracks.

It’s a multi-media experience that will leave chills and allow the audience to take home a version of it through the release of Cold Void’s first vinyl press with a lenticular print cover and downloadable videos to be played with the record. Limited edition and signed by the artists.

CODAME Featured Artist: Vinit Patil

Vinit was raised in Bangkok, where he narrowly escaped baptism at RIS, a school run by fanatic  American missionaries. He then moved to India to attend Engineering School. Even after graduating, Vinit had no idea how to fix a radio or program a VCR. His uncle was kind enough to give him a job soldering circuit boards. Vinit quit within a few months (much to his uncle’s delight) to pursue a more creative career.

He  decided to attend the Creative Circus. Vinit got his copywriting diploma in 2002 which, even today, his dad believes is worthless (it kinda is). 

Vinit previously worked at Taxi, New York for two years as a writer, not a cab driver (you may think so, since he was a Indian guy in NYC ).

Prior to New York, he worked at Leo Burnett , where he braved the Chicago winters for three years. 

Vinit believes there are plenty of ways for brands to make millions of dollars, but the cheapest and fastest way is through is innovation.

Vinit has won awards for innovation in digital advertising from the Webby’s, The London International Advertising Festivals, The One Show, Cannes, The FWA and other shows with fun parties.
