 And we have the ID TechHack show, hi. So who are you? I'm Kitty, Kitty Young. I am demoing some of my designs here at ID TechHack's show. So what is this one? This is a 3D printed part on a handmade dress. I have designed all these embroidery patterns that is all 3D printed. So people can actually buy these parts and build their own projects. What's about the light? Is this not to do with the dress, right? Yeah, the light is on the mannequin. On the mannequin? Yeah. And what's happening with this one? This one is a dress made out of this material called Made of Mars. It's a type of material you can use by melting down volcanic rocks and pulling to fibers and weave the fibers into fabrics. So it's a volcano? Yeah, it's the same composition in the volcanic areas. It's very soft. Yeah, and on Mars, actually, on the Mars surface, you can find a lot of this kind of material. It's called basaltic rock. And I also added the optical dust sensor and temperature sensor to detect our environmental data. So does that mean that, is it going to do something in the LEDs based on the environment? Yeah, yeah. So it has a buzzer and it has a ring of LEDs. The colors are corresponding to the temperature. And the optical dust sensor sends signal to the buzzer. So if we have abnormal data that's detected here, then it will show on the LEDs and also buzz at a certain frequency. Nice. How about this one? This is a dress. I use servos and microcontrollers to make the wings move. And all of these designs are my own paintings on the fabrics. I'm wearing one and this is my painting of lotus, the pond with the fish and the flowers. These are my already made products. These are consolation prints. I painted every single consolation on the fabric. These are the products that I am wearing right now. That's a painting of one of the most beautiful places on earth. It's called Guilin in China. It's a Chinese painting. Guilin is with a beautiful scenery? Yes. Where is it in Guilin? It's in Guangxi province. And I also made scarves. This is a shawl. All of these have my paintings. These are already products that people can buy. But then for those ones that are still prototypes, I make them open source. Open source? Yes. So people can learn. I write tutorials on how these dresses are built. People can find the tutorials, the code, the construction processes and the components. They can buy them off the shelf and they can use my code and build their own projects. I use servos and a small microcontroller. It's the micro-adrenal microcontroller embedded at the back. Just a small battery. Is it comfortable? Yeah, for sure. You don't feel anything. Can you make the wings flap based on the heartbeat or something like that? You could. If you add a heart rate sensor. So I haven't brought it here today but I have a dress that detects your EKG signal. So you can trigger it to blink LED or you can trigger it to connect to the motion. So if you're excited, it's going to flap the wings more? Yeah, if you want to program it that way, you could. Or some other ways. Do you do these, what's it called? Defilés? You know those with models on the walking and showing your collections? Oh, the runway shows? Fashion shows, yeah. You do this? Yeah, I have done fashion shows including San Francisco Fashion Week and New York Tech Fashion Week. And I opened my brand recently so people can buy the ready-to-wear. They can also, through the website, learn how these high-tech garments are made. Right now our industry hasn't got to the point that they can really manufacture high-tech clothing at scale. But to push that, I make them open-source and people can learn for free how these are made. So I'm hoping that manufacturers will start to look at the creative designs. But I think people want to buy your designs, right? Yeah, if they like, they can buy them. It's called Art by Physicists, that's the brand name. But my own URL is, the URL is my name, I'm the designer. It's Kitty Yang, K-I-T-T-Y-Y-E-U-N-G dot com. They can buy the ready-to-wear. So I'm here to show the vision of really brain technology and deliver technology. Make technology artistic. We haven't had enough integration between the fashion, the art world, and the tech world yet. So I want to push that. And you say Art by Physicists. Yes. You're a physicist? I'm a physicist, yeah. So like, stuff to do with matter and space and everything? So yeah, my background is in condensed metaphysics. I studied materials and studied the quantum properties of materials and built circuits. I'm still a physicist in my daytime, but at night, in my spare time, I would put my creative outlets into building beautiful fashion and do paintings. So what's next? What next do you want to do also? You have some many different projects you want to do? Yeah, I have a lot of project ideas I'm going to create and using new technologies to build them. So people can follow you and see what's next? Sure, yeah. People can find me online, find me on Twitter, Instagram, Art by Physicists. And I also am pushing the application of technology in fashion manufacturing. So if you want to hear more, there's actually a lot of problems in the current fashion industry in terms of overproduction and waste and pollution. So using technology we can actually do made-to-order and reduce the waste and pollution that's from making goods that people don't actually want. Because it's like all these $9.99 stores or stuff, discounts and stuff, they sell it and stuff, people don't need. Yeah, yeah. So what are you going to do about this? Those were overproduced and often times after the rounds of discounts they end up in landfills or incinerators. The fashion industry actually generates 10% of carbon footprint, 30% of clothing ever made and never sold. So we actually should be doing made-to-order. We shouldn't be making anything until someone already wants it. So right now making small volume is a temporary solution. But in the future I really see we can use technology to really understand what people would like and create a platform to support creative designers. To allow more interesting designs being available for people to understand and do purchases online before the product is actually built. Alright, so maybe there's also a lot of what's called second hand. Second hand could be a big thing, right? Because why just throw things away? You can just maybe find somebody else who wants to. Yeah, second hand would be one of the solutions to sustain based on things that's already made. But in the future I really think we shouldn't be making anything until someone already wants it. We are continuing our creative journey. The emerging designers, they have all kinds of beautiful ideas. We have to give them the opportunity to build their ideas into reality. But at the same time we should not be making things that are not creative that people actually don't really want to buy.
