WWWYRED
Nick D’Alessandro’s work investigates the aesthetics of a human experience where the mind and body are just as responsive - if not more - to digital space/time. Systems of portable technology and fashion are parallel, and disposed on independent timelines by design, yet their epitome is entirely dependent on their site: the body. Products made under Nick’s business, WWWYRED, recover discarded histories embedded in garments and reimagine their context in a digital space.
