Catalytic Clothing - Clothes that purify air


Catalytic Clothing is a radical project that brings together the worlds of fashion and chemistry with the potential to clean the air we breathe.

Employing existing technology in a new way, it seeks to explore how clothing and textiles can be used as a catalytic surface to purify air. 

It is the brainchild of artist / designer Professor Helen Storey MBE  and chemist Professor Tony Ryan OBE - people from very different worlds whose minds have come together over recent years in highly successful art/science collaborations.
 
The world can view a full length CatClo film online which is expected to reach an audience of millions worldwide through social media and websites.  

This campaign continue with a series of cultural and art interventions that will bring this forth coming technology into the public domain, to engage and shape our world for the better.
