She is a multidisciplinary fashion designer working across the fields of generative design, modular textiles, augmented reality, virtual design and upcycled materials. Her practice focuses on the body within a sustainable and digital context. She explores themes of digital deterioration, glitch, file corruption and image generation. Mathilde’s work is centered around on creating systemic change in the fashion industry in order to achieve a more circular model. The talk is an introduction to the idea of the avatar through the lens of Haraway's concept of the cyborg. We are going to explore different aspects and characteristics of the identity construction of avatars and how they interact with the organic side of our identity. Cyborg is a portmanteau of "cybernetic organism", is a being with both organic and biomechatronic body parts.
