Speculatively sewing historic clothing patents

Jungnickel discusses historic clothing patents. He states that for nearly a decade, he has been interested in historic clothing inventions and how "making things to make sense of things" using visual and inventive methods might help me get closer (and in)to research in new ways. He adds that in his research and teaching at Goldsmiths, he explored ideas around gender, mobilities, and tech/maker cultures, especially in two projects: the ESRC-funded Bikes and Bloomers about early cycling cultures, where his research team and he reconstructed a collection of 1890s convertible cycling skirts; and the ERC-funded Politics of Patents, where they are speculatively sewing even more historic clothing inventions from 1820 to 2020.
