The three print series I completed within the past two years appear hardly related at first. However, these individual bodies of work, when examined chronologically, are continually informed by similar ideas. The most obvious of these is the act of piecing elements together to form something that had previously not existed, yet still influences the original source. In all three series, images are taken from an original source and re-contextualized. The idea of cultural or anthropological landscapes is also a theme throughout my work. Each individual series toyed with the idea of an imaginary or theoretical anthropological landscape in direct comparison to its pre-existing model. These humorous and oftentimes puzzling images are influenced by my over-active imagination, fueled by equal parts pop culture, playful cynicism, and desperate idealism.

A contemporaneidade vem sendo marcada por mudanças em vários aspectos, em especial para o design. As últimas décadas inauguraram tecnologias digitais em que os recursos para captura, tratamento e reprodução de imagens alteram modos de desenvolvimento, produção e percepção estética. Este estudo refere-se ao design de superfície, especialidade do design, especificamente à estamparia têxtil digital. Tem como propósito investigar os recursos digitais voltados à estamparia têxtil como produtores de elementos visuais causadores de sentido e significado tendo em vista a relação: produção criativa, produto (aspectos subjetivos da estampa) e diferenciação. A pesquisa parte da abordagem qualitativa de caráter exploratório, por meio de referências bibliográficas, observação em estamparia digital selecionada na cidade de São Paulo e entrevistas a designers de superfície atuantes. Este estudo também propõe uma reflexão sobre alguns aspectos diferenciais e de subjetividade que as estampas permitem em produtos de moda em vestuário e decoração. Ao identificar e discutir possibilidades, potencialidades e limitações da estamparia digital nas áreas mencionadas, sugere-se contribuições para o design de superfície na criação de estamparia com fotografia a partir da demanda por diferenciação, em engineered print, tendo a peça impressa como suporte de arte e comunicação. / The contemporaneity has been marked by changes in various aspects, in particular for design. The latest decades inaugurated digital technologies in which the capabilities for capturing, processing and reproducing images changes modes of development, production and aesthetics perception. This study refers to the surface design, specialty of design, specifically the digital textile printing. It aims to investigate the digital resources intended for the textile printing as producers of visual elements that causes sense and meaning to the partnership: creative production, product (subjective aspects of print) and differentiation. This is a qualitative research of exploratory character approach, by means of bibliographical references, observation of selected digital prints in the city of São Paulo and interviews of the active surface designers. This study also proposes a reflection on some differential and subjective aspects that prints allows in fashion and decoration products. Identifying and discussing possibilities, potentials and limitations of digital printing in the areas mentioned, it suggests contributions to surface design in the creation of engineered prints from the differentiation demand, making the piece printed as art and communication support.

The effects of coating formulation on thermal characteristics of coating layers were systematically studied for xerographic toner fusion on coated papers. Model coatings were formulated using three types of ground calcium carbonate and one kaolin pigments, each mixed with 6, 10, 18, and 25 pph of styrene butadiene latex binder. Porosity was found to be a key parameter for coating thermal conductivity adjustment, and was determined by the latex concentration. The particle size distribution and morphology of pigments also affect the overall thermal characteristics of coating layers. Print qualities on model coated papers were evaluated by print gloss measurement, toner adhesion test, and pair-wise visual ranking, and it was proved that print gloss is reduced with increasing bulk thermal conductivity of coating layers. The coating layer consisted of Covercarb HP pigment and 10 pph of latex was found to have the best performance in the three print quality evaluation tests.

Jag har valt att kalla mitt projekt ”Whereabouts”, vilket betyder plats eller tillhåll. Och det är just en plats som jag försöker skapa i mitt examensarbete. Arbetet handlar om textil i rum och hur jag kan använda mig utav textil för att bygga upp en rumslighet. Fokus ligger på offentlig miljö, och hur jag i en sådan miljö kan skapa en plats för avskildhet och lugn. Lite som ett gömställe att fly till när omgivningen blir stökig och orolig. Det hela resulterar i en rumsavdelare i form av ett textilt tak och golv.Kärnan i projektet är att utforska hur jag kan skapa rumslighet, eller snarare illusionen av rumslighet då jag inte använder mig av några väggar som stänger av flödet i rummet. Istället undersöker jag om det skapas en känsla av att kliva in i ett annat område eller rum genom att föra in ett extra, lägre tak över ett begränsat område. Om det skapas en annan atmosfär under taket. För att ytterligare bygga på detta, arbetar jag även fram ett golv, som fungerar som en avspegling av taket och därmed binder ihop golv och tak.“Whereabouts” is a hideaway, a place to escape to when the surroundings are noisy and unrestful. With a room divider, in the form of a textile ceiling and floor, a place of serenity is created in the public room. Inspired by the spatiality created underneath the tree crown and of the light that seeps through the leaves, “Whereabouts” forms a more natural atmosphere in an otherwise artificial context.The work revolves around the use of textiles in interiors and how I can create spatiality, or rather the illusion of it, not using any walls. Instead, I examine whether the use of a ceiling and floor can create a different atmosphere and a sense of space. / Program: Textildesignutbildningen

[ES] La tesis que se presenta bajo el título Metodologías de transferencia mediante sistemas de impresión inkjet: Procesos para la creación gráfica digital, pretende mostrar desde una perspectiva conceptual y técnico-práctica la evolución en el desarrollo de procesos desde los sistemas de registro y reproducción electrónicos hasta las tecnologías de registro, producción y representación digital, mediante procesos híbridos, ampliando el campo para la creación de la gráfica digital especialmente con impresoras de inyección de tinta. Se analiza la situación contextual de la gráfica a través de un recorrido histórico que parte desde principios del siglo XX para comprender los cambios y planteamientos que se han producido en la concepción de la gráfica como un medio autosuficiente para la creación de obra de arte única. Además de la percepción de las imágenes a través de la tecnología y como esta ha repercutido en la reflexión de nuevos enfoques en el medio artístico. En este sentido, tratamos de conceptualizar el movimiento y la percepción que provoca el mundo digital sobre las imágenes a través de la transferencia, no solo como concepto que nos ayuda a comprender cómo influye la transmisión de códigos, sino también, como práctica artística para extraer y materializar el flujo digital, las imágenes intangibles y dotarlas de un estado háptico, convirtiéndolas en objetos físicos. Para dar corporeidad a las imágenes, en la investigación se propone una serie de procesos de transferencia realizados a partir de sistemas de impresión inkjet donde entran en juego factores como el soporte temporal, el medio reportador y el soporte definitivo, el cual se desvincula de la tradicionalidad gráfica, utilizando materiales diversos que aportan un valor añadido a la pieza. / [CA] La tesi que es presenta sota el títol Metodologies de transferència mitjançant sistemes d'impressió inkjet: Processos per a la creació gràfica digital, pretén mostrar des d'una perspectiva conceptual i tècnic-pràctica l'evolució en el desenvolupament de processos des dels sistemes de registre i reproducció electrònics fins a les tecnologies de registre, producció i representació digital, mitjançant processos híbrids, ampliant el camp per a la creació de la gràfica digital especialment amb impressores d'injecció de tinta. S'analitza la situació contextual de la gràfica a través d'un recorregut històric que parteix des de principis del segle XX per a comprendre els canvis i plantejaments que s'han produït en la concepció de la gràfica com un mitjà autosuficient per a la creació d'obra d'art única. A més de la percepció de les imatges a través de la tecnologia i com aquesta ha repercutit en la reflexió de nous enfocaments en el mitjà artístic. En aquest sentit, tractem de conceptualitzar el moviment i la percepció que provoca el món digital sobre les imatges a través de la transferència, no sols com a concepte que ens ajuda a comprendre com influeix la transmissió de codis, sinó també, com a pràctica artística per a extreure i materialitzar del flux digital, les imatges intangibles i dotar-les d'un estat hàptic, convertint-les en objectes físics. Per a donar corporeïtat a les imatges, en la investigació es proposa una sèrie de processos de transferència realitzats a partir de sistemes d'impressió inkjet on entren en joc factors com el suport temporal, el mig reportador i el suport definitiu, el qual es desvincula de la tradicionalitat gràfica, utilitzant materials diversos que aporten un valor afegit a la peça. / [EN] The thesis presented under the title Methodologies of transfer using inkjet printing systems: Processes for digital graphic creation, aims to show from a conceptual and technical-practical perspective the evolution in the development of processes from electronic recording and reproduction systems until digital recording, production and representation technologies, through hybrid processes, expanding the field for the creation of digital graphics. especially with inkjet printers. The contextual situation of graphics is analyzed through a historical journey that starts from the beginning of the 20th century to understand the changes and proposals that have occurred in the conception of graphics as a self-sufficient means for the creation of unique works of art. In addition to the perception of images through technology and how it has affected the reflection of new approaches in the artistic medium. These means that we try to conceptualize the movement and perception that the digital world provokes on images through transfer, not only as a concept that helps us understand how the transmission of codes influences, but also as an artistic practice to extract and materialize intangible images of the digital flow and endow them with a haptic state, turning them into physical objects. In order to give corporeality to the images, the research proposes a series of transfer processes carried out using inkjet printing systems where factors such as temporary support, informative support and definitive support come into play, which is detached from graphic traditionality, using different materials that provide added value to the piece. / Molina Guixot, C.
