Appsolescencia is a collaborative space for research, design, and innovation — a digital showcase for experimental practices that intertwine handcrafted textiles, critical thinking, and speculative futures. Rooted in material experimentation and narrative design, the project challenges conventional systems of production and consumption through poetic, provocative, and conscious creation.
More than a space for craft, Appsolescencia operates as a platform for material activism, where upcycled, donated, and traceable fibers become vessels for memory, resistance, and transformation. Each piece is singular — shaped by its threads, textures, and context — merging traditional techniques like knitting and tapestry with immersive technologies and expanded storytelling.
Led by Lorena Madrazo, a designer and artist working across digital environments, product, and futures design, the project unfolds through research, intuition, and embodied practice. Her work invites us to question permanence, beauty, and waste — to imagine other ways of inhabiting and making.
Appsolescencia is not just about making — it’s about disrupting, repairing, and reimagining.
Each piece is a fracture in the expected. A quiet manifesto. A possible future.
