"1968 remains arguably the most historic year in modern American history"

"1968 was a year of triumphs and tragedies. While America reached new heights by introducing the first 747 and orbiting the moon, all was not well down on Earth. The United States lost a Navy intelligence ship and two proponents of peace -- the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. and Robert F. Kennedy."

December 24: Apollo 8 is the first manned spacecraft to orbit the moon

On Christmas Eve, three astronauts circled the moon 10 times. Jim Lovell, Bill Anders and Frank Borman became the first human beings to travel to the moon.

Launched from the Kennedy Space Center, Apollo 8 was a mission of firsts:
-The first photos of Earth taken from deep space by humans, including the now iconic "Earthrise"
--The first time the lunar surface was broadcast on live television
-The first time humans had traveled to the far side of the moon
The weeklong mission was fueled by a Space Race rivalry with the Soviet Union and the nation's desire to fulfill President John F. Kennedy's wishes to land on the moon by decade's end, a goal accomplished by Apollo 11 seven months later.
As Apollo 8 emerged from the mysterious dark side of the moon before heading back to Earth, a relieved Lovell announced to the world, "Houston, please be informed there is a Santa Claus."
This amazing and joyous mission was a rare high note in a year filled with historically tragic events. According to "A Man on the Moon," Andrew Chaikin's book on the Apollo program, the astronauts received countless telegrams after they returned safely home. But one stuck out from the others.
It said, "You saved 1968."

April 4: Martin Luther King Jr. assassinated in Memphis, Tennessee

The attack took place shortly after Kennedy had wrapped up a speech in the hotel ballroom. As he cut through a kitchen corridor on his way to another part of the building, a Jordanian born Palestinian named Sirhan Sirhan opened fire, hitting Kennedy in the head and back.
Kennedy collapsed and was rushed to the hospital, where he underwent brain surgery. Twenty-six hours after the attack, Kennedy died. He was 42.
Convicted of the murder in 1969, his death sentence was commuted to life in prison in 1972. Sirhan remains in a California prison.

Johanna-Maria Parv's fashion collection is designed to free women from restrictive clothing

"The idea behind my collection is embracing female power and strength," Parv told Dezeen. "Creating clothes for women in action. Women on bicycles, free from social restriction."

"The times I looked at in history was when women began wearing clothing that allowed them to have a more physical role in society," she added. "I tailored the garments into a shape that would allow women to move and adapt in active situations."

"I want to be able to create sensations and feelings that we are lacking in today's society, and in my opinion, mixing classical tailoring with accessories seems the best way of reaching just that."

my response

In terms of "fictional Bodies", this collection focuses more on the imagination of the functionality of future garments instead of some exaggerated shape. I think it is more convincing to have a reason or topic than just changing the shape of a human bodies. I think I might develop my project based on the notion of how future technology such as artificial intelligence will effect our lives

The Shape of Water

the story follows a mute cleaner at a high-security government laboratory who falls in love with a captured humanoid amphibian creature.

A troubled child summons the courage to help a friendly alien escape Earth and return to his home world. This is a kiss scene from the movie.

The film follows Theodore Twombly (Joaquin Phoenix), a man who develops a relationship with Samantha (Scarlett Johansson), an artificially intelligent virtual assistant personified through a female voice. This movie fits my concept for this project perfectly.

7. November 22: "Star Trek" airs American television's first interracial kiss
In an episode of TV's original "Star Trek" entitled "Plato's Stepchildren," the crew aboard the Starship Enterprise became enslaved by humanoid Platonians, who possessed a telekinetic ability to force them to do anything the Platonians wanted them to do.
Enterprise Capt. James Kirk, a white man played by William Shatner, was forced to kiss Nichelle Nichols' character, Lt. Nyota Uhura, a black woman.
Censors at NBC insisted on filming an alternate version sans smooch -- fearing that local TV affiliates in the Deep South would refuse to air the episode.
Shatner is reported to have purposefully ruined all the alternative takes so the network would be forced to air the kiss.
Appropriately, Kirk has this line in the episode: "Where I come from, size, shape or color makes no difference."
