Micro Fashion Network

Burak Arikan and Ben Dalton set up a camera and deployed custom software to track colours worn by people moving through Cambridge. The result is a visual representation of a "micro fashion network". A video clarifies what is otherwise inevitably obscure 60s French semiotics.

the system of fashion is set on the continuous change of styles and speculations of the image of clothing that are represented through mass media and network of individual expressions. This work aims to explore the effect of the fashion system by creating a micro fashion network with the basic elements of color and time.

I would like to see one of these images conjured up using cameras pointed at different Toronto intersections; the grey/blue cluster around Bay and King W., a black nexus at Queen W and Spadina and some weaving project mess hovering over Annexia.
