The publishing arm of Anti-Factory--a one-woman fashion design unit in San Francisco that makes unique items out of recycled garments. Links and posts regarding art and DIY issues. Holla!

About Me
-
- Name: Stephanie Syjuco
- Location: San Francisco, California, US
Maker of Anti-Factory clothing: unique garments made from recycled materials...because sweatshops suck! I am primarily a visual artist who is currently teaching sculpture at the California College of Arts in San Francisco. My clothing line is my strange attempt at creating wearable examples of turning away from mass-production and mass-consumption. Viva la revolution!

it looks great, stephanie!
i really love the anonymous black lumps of product. they really do look like...missing stuff. a hole in the world.
tell me, is there anything you can't do? ;)
hey vals, you should talk, you maker/seller/artist/photo gal, you!
well, it looks like one thing i *can't* do is sell any artwork. sigh! does anyone really want to buy giant sculptural installations and half-crumbling parodies of high-end modernist furniture? me thinks not... ;)
oooh, black market! so interesting! love the new profile pic, btw. tres chic!
i am obsessed with black markets! anything that smacks of what i call "illicit capitalism" intrigues me...the whole bootlegging of media and designer products is totally fascinating and is the result of when certain commodities become out of reach of the majority of people on the planet. but because of the marketing of desire for these products, an underground production and consumption of these things comes about...it's really lovely when you think about it. people want things. they'll go to great lengths to get even a facsimile of it. other people will supply it and circumvent the "proper" channels of consumption....
i'm currently reading: "the substance of style: how the rise of aesthetic value is remaking commerce, culture, & consciousness," by virginia postrel. i'm just started to get interested in the subject, so i'll have more to talk with you about on the matter after i'm done reading! cheers! :-D
awesome! sounds verrrrrrrry interesting...i may have to snag a copy myself, eh?
