And in week 13 I proposed my final project.

About me

Hi! I am Emma Yanez. I’m an electronics engineer, painter, and fashion designer — a mix that pretty much sums up how much I love creating and building things that make life a little easier and a lot happier. I’m passionate about bringing ideas to life, whether it’s through technology, art, or style. I love traveling, sightseeing, and meeting new people — there’s something special about building connections and sharing stories. I’m also a big fan of going to the movies (yes, actually going, not just watching from the couch! LOL) and I believe music and dancing are the best fuel to stay inspired and motivated every day.

It all began many years ago in a library in Gothenburg, where I stumbled upon a book about smart clothing and became instantly fascinated by the topic. At the time, however, I was not enrolled in any related courses. It wasn’t until 2018, in Barcelona, that I discovered Fabricademy, and I immediately knew it was the right place to develop my passions for wearables, smart textiles, affective computing, and textiles in general.

My background

I was born in a charming little city by a river with a name that’s tricky to pronounce — Cosamaloapan — but I grew up in the big, bustling Mexico City. I’ve spent time living abroad in Europe, Central, and South America, and those experiences have really enriched my life with amazing people and cultures.

Previous work

My previous related work has focused mainly on painting and Mexican art crafts. In parallel, during the Art & Technology master’s program, I worked with evolutionary algorithms. For my final project, I developed a choreography generated by an evolutionary algorithm using video fragments of dance movements. The program randomly selects and combines these video segments, producing a different choreography each time.
