Difference Between Marboro, Newport, Camel

CONCEPT 1

"Women are the guardians of life. Women, silenced.
Women broken, trampled and deleted because the guardians of life. "


The first concept proposes a jewel / jewelry collection that changes depending on input received from a website.
The website in question is that of ' AIDOS - Italian Association for Women in Development ( http://www.aidos.it/ ), an association that deals with the rights of women, mainly in developing countries.

The idea is to have a jewel, changing, "warn its owner" of news about the theme for which it was created: the female genital mutilation (FGM) .
Jewel may be an elastic material such as silicone or a soft material, and change its shape in different ways, depending on whether "good or bad news" may swell or shrivel (withdrawal, not deflate), could light up with different patterns of flashing or colored with warm or cold, may change the surface texture with more or less aggressive or be crossed by streams of colored light.

Assuming the project site has a database, public and searchable , with extensive documentation about the problem
and constantly updated news about the "achievements" of the Association:
- testimonials and / or new cases in women / girls / girls saved from mutilation in developing countries and in immigrant communities in Europe;
- creation of new centers for the sexual and reproductive health,
and education of women and girls respect;
- improvement of family planning centers and centers for maternal and child health
;
- planning and / or implement new programs in Africa and Europe, for the elimination of gender violence and the abandonment of practice of female genital mutilation;
- new partnerships for the establishment of documentation centers, information (with thematic campaigns, conferences, events, etc.).
and printing rights women;
- new projects in design, architecture, graphic design, art, fashion, etc.. concerning the plight of FGM;
- new training courses on gender issues in different policy areas for local and non
- birth and / or development of micro-local economies, such as the creation of circuits
entrepreneurship female
- birth and / or development of centers for job creation;
- approval of policy measures, laws and / or allocation of adequate resources;
- new negotiations successfully concluded;
- birth and / or development centers education and education for boys and girls, including scholarships for the effective exercise of the right to education;
- any initiative aimed at the problem.

The site contains also the "defeat", the targets are not met, the funds have not yet been found, the initiatives that have not had good results / outcomes, the villages where operators have failed, in short, all areas where you have
still engage and work for you to create, or take root at all, an awareness of gender relations, the specific needs of women
and conditions of violence to which they are subject.

From the moment the jewel "signals" a "news", revealing
an event or a new connection, the "owner" can refer
il sito, ed essere sempre aggiornato, intervenendo con commenti o proposte, arricchendolo di immagini, dando un po di sè stesso; potrà altresì pubblicizzare il sito creando, in tal modo, una rete di condivisione di informazioni, aggiungendo un’importante tassello
ad una, più che mai necessaria, opera di sensibilizzazione di massa.
Altro importante elemento di comunicazione è il gioiello stesso che, grazie al suo carattere altamente innovativo (per forma e tecnologia), stimolerà interesse e curiosità nell’”altro”, generando un inevitabile passaparola che, come è noto, è la miglior forma
di comunicazione.
Le forme di comunicazione non verbale sono, in molti casi, più efficienti poichè più dirette: coinvolgono, infatti, le nostre emozioni più viscerali che, se opportunamente stimolate, sopraffanno qualsiasi altro senso.
Si tratta comunque di un’“arma a doppio taglio” poichè questa forma di comunicazione sensoriale necessita di essere contestualizzata per essere compresa. Qui entra inevitabilmente in gioco il proprietario dell’oggetto che, interagendo con gli altri, è portatore di conoscenza, e fautore di una rete di condivisione attorno al problema.
Il gioiello/i richiede, infatti, la partecipazione diretta dell’utilizzatore: un “oggetto-embrione” che scommette sulla sua capacità di sopravvivenza nel momento stesso del suo iniziale incontro con il portatore, e su quest’ultimo basa il suo cammino.
Questo concept riguarda una tipologia di gioiello intesa come “oggetto-evento/manifesto” , un prodotto la cui nascita, linfa vitale e senso stesso di esistenza sono consequenziali all’evolversi
degli eventi: determinati e determinanti.

Mucus Or Undigested Food In The Stool

MAPPA CONCETTUALE - ARTICOLAZIONE CONCEPTS >> MUTILAZIONI GENITALI FEMMINILI + ORNAMENTO

"Innovation in the fickle world of taste is linked to the fundamental changes necessary for living, following the mutation of anthropological behavior . [...] [...] An alteration of the function historically determined the future shape seems logical function full of new meanings. It seems to be at the same time an innovative object and ethnic heritage, the decoration of a future space tribe and the disappearance of an ancient tribe of Antarctica a stranger. "
Philippe Daverio






Ornaments accompagnano l'uomo dalla notte dei tempi.
Il desiderio di decorare il corpo, in particolare, è atavico: abbiamo testimonianze a riguardo in tutte le civiltà primitive ed in ogni cultura. Le tecniche utilizzate sono molto diverse, vanno dal tatuaggio al cutting, dal piercing alla produzione di monili.
Il mio interesse si rivolge proprio a quest'ultima tipologia: i gioielli, in particolare quelli creati con materiali eterocliti o in metalli non preziosi.

“Il significato dell'ornamento e dell' ornamento-gioiello è mutevole, testimonia fedelmente la cultura in cui nasce, documenta ogni mutamento stilistico e sociale.
Nonostante its omnipresence ornament had a destiny controversial at certain times was considered unnecessary, artificial, while in others, essential, fundamental.
ornament in contemporary society is seen as a sign of identification, which determines a membership, then useful symbol to the communication of ideas and values.
Even the jewelry involved in this meaning, and are no longer considered a status symbol, but style symbol : elements to communicate their tastes, their own aesthetic and even its values, the jewels are not just symbols indicators social status, but are individual choices, personal values.
This new trend was born in the 60s of the twentieth century in the field of artistic jewelry: jewelry search were the result of a strong desire to experiment, embracing new forms, investigating new forms, unusual materials and innovative techniques or modernizing older styles. Each style
developed a well-defined inclination poetic, cultural and ideological, with the precise intent of expressing a different view of the ornament for the body.
This shift in perception (especially abroad) was traced with the transition from Modernism, a period of strong ideologies, the Postmodernism , kingdom of weak thought, up to the contemporary thinking , a period in which it is increasingly the need of individual expression and appreciation of social values. From
90s in various productive sectors, from design to fashion, from music to food to publishing, there is a widespread new practice of self, created by the renewal of the applied arts: a model of design , production and, more often than not, that it is for promoting and selling the same author. Have multiplied many small businesses that have their value added in combination creativity and "know do "and trying to deal with contemporary language and with new markets.
Even the jewelry, especially those using non-precious metals, has found new growth through new forms of business: know-how traditional married creativity to produce contemporary jewelry, chosen by an attentive audience the communicative aspect of the ornament ".
Source: Generation Jewellery. Ornament in contemporary non-precious metals and auto-production, will gradually, thesis project.

analysis ornament for the body and its existing material, it is evident that significant changes in concepts of form and function over the centuries: what remains unchanged is its indispensability by man as an element of communication and social belonging.

"A chipped stone, a tool of the Stone Age, tells us a lot about the needs of the first human beings to dig roots, skinning animals, scraping fur. Over time, then the stone was chipped and further work becomes more pointed, and any modification yet another soon followed to meet new requirements. And with the creation of any new instrument, humanity discovered new possibilities of use. New tools create new needs which, in turn, produce new objects. People love
"objects": it is part of our nature. Maybe an animal instinct, but how we like our things. People are surrounded by their subjects: they are useful or decorative, beautiful, ugly, common or rare, we can not help but sow everywhere traces of our identity. Traces of culture, national identity, political ideology, religious affiliation and sexual orientation. Our items reflect who we really are and who we want to be. Just think of the process by which we decide what to keep and what to throw. We give importance to the objects that have never been touched by those who touch all the time, the most useful or most useless?
We can turn them into fetishes, impregnated with magic and memories, sexual or religious power, to make them become objects of worship, desire and fear with which food passions and obsessions.
[...] These are the tools we need to shape our lives. "
Peter Gabriel

Jewel communicate the aesthetic world, sensory, its author's ideological, but also those, then you will have to wear it.
It is a product that fluctuates between art and design, unique and mass production, decoration and abstraction. The passion for the subject and its relationship with the body are the red threads that connect the different areas. Rossella Tornquist for "the jewel has the uncanny ability to influence the field upon which it interacts, the body, the dress, is apparently formal influence, but above all spiritual, reveals much more of a dress the intimate microcosm of those who choose and wear. It 's a small object in proportion to the space which enters into a relationship, yet knows how to constrain the observer's point of view. "

A gem is not only worn, brought him, felt him to be a jewel to be interpreted. You have to play and entertain, it must be treated with care, like a second or a third skin. If
is challenging the better: the game can become more risky, and more fun.
E 'disruptive charm a jewel because it has the ability to evoke, to talk about themselves and others.
Each piece could be a room: in every furniture, objects, scents of a given period, a specific character, atmosphere. A story.

MAPPA ANALITICA - ANALISI DELL'ESISTENTE >> ORNAMENTO

"The project idea becomes an object that relates to the body.
The jewel is perceptual and sensory experience, place of departure of events in transformation, narrative scenario in which objects interact in miniature , silent witness of rock and geological findings.
