Subversive Surveillance

This theme highlights the rise of tech surveillance as well as a new fascination with infrared imaging as design inspiration.

Design strategies
As attitudes towards technology shift between suspicion and optimism, design reflects this duality. Some brands focus on prints and fabrics that shield against facial recognition, thermal cameras and radiation, while others are inspired by infrared imaging. Harmony Korine’s genre-defying Aggro Dr1ft movie exemplifies this trend, using heat sensors to create vivid, high-energy visuals
At its most commercial, this will translate via pops of #HyperBrights in jarring combinations, adding newness to outdoors ranges. Distorted, overlayed and #Psychedelic motifs will emerge for print, albeit in small volumes
Ones to watch: musician M.I.A. recently launched OHMNI, a streetwear range offering protection against nanoparticles and EMF radiation. London-based studio Nomint created an animation for WWF working with thermal imaging cameras to highlight rising ocean temperatures
Relevant for: streetwear, outdoorwear, knitwear, cut-and-sew, casual separates
