A mobile phone and a t-shirt. That is all you need to read The N-spired Story: the first ever book written by the world, printed on interactive t-shirts. Through the webpage www.nspiredstory.com, anyone can share a story, a news piece, a personal experience, a video or anything else worth telling. Each month, the users on the website vote for the most inspiring story and one of the world’s most creative up-and-coming artists turns it into an innovative design printed on a limited edition interactive t-shirt.
Using image recognition technology and a mobile phone, the art on the t-shirt comes to life and explains the story behind the t-shirt via videos, photos, augmented reality, and much more. The idea behind The N-spired Story is to create a platform where people’s stories are used as a source of inspiration to create art and revolutionize fashion, as well as to make the world a better place. That is why, each month with a % of the sales, an original and creative social act is performed. Just recently, for Chapter 2: Faceless, The N-spired Story built a foldable house on wheels and donated it to a homeless person.
The N-spired Story just released Chapter 6: Nature vs Nature. This month’s chapter deals with two twins, separated at birth and never having met until the age of 40, lived lives with uncanny coincidences. This month, the t-shirt is more than just interactive. It launches a game in which you will help the two twins reunite by beating the computer at tic tak toe. Illustration was designed by the one and only Nate Williams (www.n8w.com).
Other chapters in The N-spired Story include Chapter 1: Defying Nature, which tells the story of how a 61 year old potato farmer not only ran an 875 km Ultra Marathon, but how he won and broke all the records while governments around the world and some interesting laws they created were the focus of Chapter 5: Follow the Herd. The N-spired Story is the first of many projects by N-spired Apparel. N-spired Apparel is a Madrid based company made up of artists, writers and graphic designers that believes in giving you an alternative to the mainstream fashion world.
