About this talk
Alice Gielen is a designer and researcher working at the intersection of textiles, computation, and craft. She develops small-scale fabrication tools, such as the Sliver Fiber Printer and J.3D.1 (JEDI), designed to support textile and fashion designers in experimentation and material exploration. Her practice combines hands-on making, speculative machine design, and research-through-design and has been presented across academic, fashion, and experimental design contexts.
