Learning The World One Thing At A Time  


Learning The World
One Thing At A Time 

White T-Shirt

 


Learning (teaching) the world one thing at a time is a implosive reseraching method developed by Joseph Dumit based on Donna Haraway’s work

“ We individually and collectively critically examine, break down, rearrange and communicate as Haraway says, the “sticky economic, technical, political, organic, historical, mythic, and textual threads that make up an object’s tissues. ”

We took a deep dive into an object for a week and try to understand everything about and surronding the object. For me, I have chosen something that I interact with on a very intimate basis every single day. 

A cotton white T-shirt.

A brief history, the technical construction, the cultural impact, and the environmental cost of a white short-sleeved t-shirt.  From its history of being a general-issued military item to being a second skin of almost everyone in the world; from the cotton industries to screenprinting, a quick but through guide of a white t-shirt is printed on this XXL comfort color blank.
