Repetition Over Time... CHINESE WHISPERS

Going back to the Decode exhibition and the Troika: Digital Zoetrope exhibit, I wanted to look at how sound can be misinterpreted as the writing does in Troika when broken up into code. I also wanted to look at how the use of repetition over a period of time can cause slight changes due to misinterpretation or the general duration of time.

Here is a video I've found of an advert celebrating 250 years of Guiness. Within the advert, the cheer shouted out at the begining becomes more and more altered as people repeat it and as time goes on. Each person repeats what they have just heard, or in some cases, what the mind wants them to hear and as a reult, the end cheer differs greatly from the original almost like the game chinese whispers.




Could my designs only portray minor changes from one to the next in a similar way to a chinese whisper?

Maybe the way the fabric is cut in a subtraction cutting method, the shapes used to make the tunnel could vary slightly from one to the next and even the positioning could alter slightly as this will result in a different outcome of garment each time.
