NOVERA MAGAZINE
Non-profit magazine for the general public
Experimental Sensory Video
Our methodology included an advanced digital experimentation phase using The Fabricant—a platform specializing in digital apparel—in conjunction with the Gemini 3.1 Pro engine. The objective of this technological crossover was to speculatively explore the morphology and physical behavior of biomaterials, projecting their viability before the garments were materialized.

Methodology and Editorial Architecture
NOVERA was born as a break from the saturation of generic content. It is a 400-page digital publication, structured under a free access model, designed to democratize niche topics and bring cutting-edge design closer to the general public. Its core is speculative design applied to fashion, demonstrating, through a 100% immersion in the use of biomaterials, how the design of the future must organically reconnect with our deepest roots.
The Manifesto and Purpose
The six-month process moved away from prefabricated answers to focus on pure speculation: formulating constant questions to construct a complex visual imaginary. The workflow combined fieldwork with digital experimentation, where each AI intervention was built strictly on a real photographic basis captured in the environment. To sustain such an extensive volume without exhausting the user, I designed a system of modular grids where each text box functions independently, ensuring a fluid reading rhythm where the user never loses the narrative thread.
Global Curatorship and Territorial Dialogue
Given the nascent exploration of textile biodesign in Chile, the magazine acts as an international bridge. Its curatorial approach brings together the work of global figures, such as the Mexican artist and researcher Regina Paniagua López, introducing this level of innovation to the local scene. The editorial focus establishes a direct dialogue between the flora, fauna, and ecosystems of different countries, comparing their similarities and their relationship to clothing from a deeply territorial perspective.
Visual Identity
Graphically, the publication is defined as a laboratory experiment: a fusion of brutalism and minimalism interwoven with experimental techniques. The magazine's structure is divided into two main acts or sections; each possesses its own independent visual language, yet both are articulated under a strict graphic coherence that unifies the entire work.
