Q-Uniform
New Technologies & Their Future Cultural Impacts
Role
Creative Designer, Design Technologist
Team - Ishraq Ashtarian, Firas Zedan, Rama Deshpande, Mang Kipgen
Q-Uniform explores quantum concepts through fashion. During the Quantum Jam Workshop at The New School, our team considered how quantum computing might shape post-humanist aesthetics, the future of fashion, and its cultural impact. Combining different disciplines, we questioned conventional approaches to fashion and imagined how new technologies could influence the design, production, and function of garments.
Working with quantum experts showed me how much interdisciplinary collaboration can contribute to design. I learned to connect complex scientific ideas with creative expression, using design to give visible form to concepts such as quantum entanglement and encrypted data explored through Qiskit.
The project reinforced the value of artists and designers participating in discussions about emerging technologies. Our role includes imagining new possibilities and asking questions about their cultural and ethical implications.
