AA Diploma 15 collaboration with NikeLab and Samuel Ross featured on Dezeen 

As a part of their studio project, AA Diploma 15 students spent two weeks collaborating with Samuel Ross’ A Cold Wall and NikeLab to conceptualise and execute an immersive sound installation for the capsule collection launch event.

Students presented three ideas related to notions of decay, preservation, display and the distribution of the garments embracing air, clay and sound as the main motifs of the brads’ collaboration.

In a week-long fabrication period, the Diploma 15 studio was transformed into a clay slip-casting factory with a production line of 700 pieces per day. The total number of pieces for the installation was 4500.

The pieces were installed on the vinyl-coated of the NikeLab showroom in Shoreditch and during the launch event visitors of the show were encouraged to interact with the piece, crushing the clay casts into chunks, shards and dust thus employing the impact of the foot strike as a literal beat generating the sound.
