'd/zoom Generation was streamed on October 31 2020 in the framework of the audio/visual event organised by Covid Room as our personal take-over of Dicho, architecture collective (ab)Normal’s project for the Architecture Biennial of Tbilisi. The project consists in a no-stop streaming dialogue between Milan and Tbilisi, a 24/7 active Twitch platform projected inside two tween pavilions placed at the Biennial of Tbilisi and in the Triennale Museum in Milan.  DESIGNER\'S CATALOGUE: https://www.covidroom.club/D-ZOOM_GENERATION.pdf  - Covid Room is an e-clubbing e-exhibit project born from a team of young international creatives at the outburst of the first lockdown in Italy -  d/zoom Generation is a collective chant, a manifestations of intents, an hymn to creativity, a remote feast. Twelve Gen Z fashion designers from London, Milan, Venice and Tbilisi present their latest garments via Zoom in what is conceived as a synchronic mosaic of collective narrations, instead of proper, separate catwalks. An intimate party, rather than a fashion show, in which every creative is invited to design, dress, wear, perform, live or whatever feels more appropriate to open an insight  into their universe.   Ever since the beginning of lockdown the fashion world was stroken by an unprecedented crisis that forced the industry to open the eyes about the unsustainable rhythms of its calendar and its ways of production. What is the responsibility of an industry as polluting as fashion in the aftermath of a global pandemic? What changes can we seek in order to slow down and be more environmentally conscious, yet allow the activities to economically sustain themselves? As a result of these questions, a decade’s worth of fashion show evolution is taking place in a matter of months. Yet, smaller brands struggle to keep afloat. Who’s gaining the most out of this situation is still big companies, who have enough money to spend in the latest digital filming technologies to make their virtual events sensational, while applying what is often just a mere greenwashing to the whole production process.   In a time where we need to buy less, more long-lasting and locally sourced, it’s important to give more space to the work of those new voices sharing the same values that should drive our change. A generation advocating more attention and the right recognition for the efforts made. D like Doom but also Designers and Digital. Z like Zoom, but also Gen Z. If “The Doom Generation” is the title of an iconic movie starring Rose McGowan and directed by Gregg Araki in 1995, the year after which the beginning of Gen Z is placed, D/Zoom Generation wants to let out the voice of a Generation that is both “Doomer” and “Zoomer”, where Zoom can be seen as a metaphor for the skills of adaptability developed by a youth growing up with the anxiety of an “impending doom” that seems to affect the uncertainty of our post-capitalistic world.
