A great video documenting the recent 12 Hour Project completed by Fashion students at Salford and RMIT University in Australia.
The brief was to produce a garment from components received in a “mystery parcel” put together by the students of the other institution, on the other side of the globe. Students had to design, produce and then present finished garments within a 12 hour time frame, via live link between the two departments in Manchester and Melbourne.
A constant live feed showing the studio spaces where students were working was posted on a dedicated Facebook page from both Salford and Melbourne using mobile phones. They also used Skype to communicate between the groups.
For more information please see their Facebook page and check out this great blog by Salford lecturer Ben Shirley documenting the event: http://benshirley.wordpress.com/2011/10/13/12hrfashion-salford-melbourne-online-fashion-collaboration/
