Anouk Wipprecht talks about Pseudomorphs
A great concept that really works!
As part of a Summer Lab at V2 – an interdisciplinary institute for art, and media technology in Rotterdam – fashion designer Anouk Wipprecht created a dress that can be customized to the wearer’s liking. Thanks to a system of valves and pumps attached to a neckpiece, ink flows over the dress creating a kind of bleeding effect.

Nitinol wire (shape memory)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nickel titanium, also known as nitinol, is a metal alloy of nickel and titanium, where the two elements are present in roughly equal amounts.
Nitinol alloys exhibit two closely related and unique properties: shape memory and superelasticity (also called pseudoelasticity). Shape memory refers to the ability of Nitinol to undergo deformation at one temperature, then recover its original, undeformed shape upon heating above its "transformation temperature". Superelasticity occurs at a narrow temperature range just above its transformation temperature; in this case, no heating is necessary to cause the undeformed shape to recover, and the material exhibits enormous elasticity, some 10-30 times that of ordinary metal.
Nitinol's extraordinary ability to accommodate large strains, coupled with its physiological and chemical compatibility with the human body have made it one of the most commonly used materials in medical device engineering and design.

Jale by Heike Sperber 2010
It is a simple transformation that allows a frosty snowflake to blossom into a sunny flower. It only takes a minor rearrangement to convey the transition from a sharp cold structure to an organic life form. With the help of a servo motor fabric flaps are turned over to accomplish the change of season in the patchwork.
The pattern is reminiscent of Islamic mosaics and demonstrates the versatility of these designs. The quilting technique is known as English Paper Piecing and the title ‘Jale’ is Persian for morning dew or dewdrop.
This work by Heike Sperber was part of the exhibition Pretty Smart Textiles. prettysmarttextiles.com
