Lia Larrea PULMONAUT : Exploring the Intersection Between Craftsmanship, Technology, and Fashion Design Through the Science of Breathing and the Art of Glass-blowing eng doi:10.57697/4XD0-8G68 application/pdf application/pdf Text Master theses Karin Krapfenbauer 2024 Pulmonaut creatively explores the intersection between craftsmanship, technology and design through the science of breathing and the art of glass-blowing in a sculptural fashion context. “As astronauts explore the depths of space, pulmonauts explore the depths of their breath” (Toth, J., 2023). With the rise of digitalisation, this project aims to revive the dying art of scientific glass-blowing by co-creating with Günther Mausz, a Linz based Austrian craftsman who has mentored Lia with ancient glass-blowing methods. Hand-crafted wearable flexible glass instruments create a contemporary fashion collection that harnesses control and flexibility. Molten glass is blown, pulled and stretched to create organic curves and bubbles threaded through interlocking systems that generate an infinite connective puzzle. Glass embodies a symphony of surgical craftsmanship where movement and mindful breathing become frozen in time. http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ Text Masterarbeit https://phaidra.kunstuni-linz.at/o:3573
