At 2018 these discussions continue. There is therefore no current activity of the project in the public domain, other than for exhibition purposes.

 The Catalytic Clothing team have produced 3 key installations to illustrate the project: Herself is a highly experimental, “couture” textile sculpture. The first of Catalytic Clothing's cultural interventions, Herself formed the start of this long term, pioneering project and was created in 2010, in collaboration with Trish Belford at the University of Ulster. Field of Jeans introduces the idea that everyday clothing and textiles can purify the air we breathe and was first shown in 2011. The project team identified that the air purifying technology used in Catalytic Clothing is particularly effective on indigo denim. Since most people own a pair of jeans these were chosen to represent universality. Made up of rows of donated denim jeans, Field of Jeans can be adapted for large or small spaces. Field of Jeans will be on show at Thomas Tallis School this autumn, using the Catalytic Clothing concept as an art, science and technology learning tool for students and the local community. The Red Planet Dresses were originally designed by Helen Storey in 1995 when she ran a commercial fashion business. Donated by Helen Storey from her personal archive the dresses are sprayed with the air purifying technology.  Herself toured in France until Spring 2013 at the Futurotextiles 3 exhibition, which brings innovation in textiles and technology to a European public.
