All Parts of the Machine is a neural network of moving images that have removed human characteristics and stereotypes, in order to appear as a homogeneous series. This study is designed to aid the understanding of unconscious biases – in particular, stereotyping. Stereotyping is the conscious or unconscious attribution of presumptions to a person based on qualities such as race, gender, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status and so on… We accrue this information and, consciously or not, it influences our perceptions and beliefs which can result in conscious bias and prejudices.

In an era of mobile phones, busy work schedules and a lack of leisure time, we are required to multitask, forcing us to overlook everyday commodities such as denim. Despite being surrounded by people wearing denim jeans, jackets and skirts every day and a majority of people owning around 6 pairs of jeans each, people’s knowledge around this subject is lacking, as most people do not even know how their clothes are made. Everything About Denim a publication exploring every aspect of the fabric through how it’s made to how it has influenced fashion throughout history.

I have been exploring politeness and what that could be like visually, graphically and in physical spaces. From what started as an explorative piece became more focused as the project progressed and I gained more of an understanding of what politeness is and how we see it in our day to day lives. Politeness is a large part of how we interact with each other on a day-to-day basis, but the rule book that we use named politeness can vary from one book to the next; actions to one person may be completely acceptable but to another may be the height of rudeness.

Dangerous nostalgia can refer to the weaponization of artefacts like those in the British museum. These artefacts have been taken and kept far from their place of origin and the culture they belong to, simply to be used by the west as a tool for education of those in the country’s privileged enough to see them as such, rather than a means by which to connect to ancestors and culture.
