This week, after working like a technician by putting all 18 needles in action, I got closer to what I’ve been trying to design. A conductive fabric made with copper and polymide. It was a nice surprise to see the squiggly lines and the bumpy textures to be strucked on, like a harp instrument. The [...]

Synthesizer

Experimenting with Liquid Crystal on a textile material with conductive material patchworked on a grid system on the back of the fabric.

Went to my very first Smart Textiles Conference with some colleagues. Oh yeah, it was official http://www.smarttextilessalon.com/
The article I wrote is on google on smarttextiles.se

Another Han and Brikauski full in effect

This is a small experiment using fabric with conductive fibers (steel/acrylic : 30/70), acts as a variable resistor, changing input data to a BX-Basic micro-controller based on how much or how little it is stretched.

In today’s workshop we made a micro controller with a blinking LED …and it works!

Where do I even begin from my mega crazy week of being in textile land. This week was a very ambitious one by trying to learn techniques in all areas of textiles, weave, knit and print. I am developing an installation piece that will have many different disciplines in textiles. First what I tried to [...]
