Noto Hirotsugo and Noto Miyu, husband and wife, masters of monochrome, attempt to create color from black ink and white cloth. They call their work Shikisai, or colorful. They make this color by coalescing three independent design elements:
1. Quotidian actions/images
2. Medium
3. Interactivity
Today, I wore a t-shirt with a black silkscreen of venetian blinds from which a cord hangs. If you pull the cord, the blinds are drawn.
Notably, the design team behind shikisai is an acknowledgement of a disparity that exists between concept and craft. Hirotsugu is trained in design, his wife Miyo specialized in the technical aspects of clothing at KDI Parsons. Big difference.
