Pretty Smart Textiles
Just got back from the Pretty Smart Textiles exhibition and workshop at TEKO, Herning.
Filled with even more ambitions and totally inspired. A nice day with textile gadgets, wire-embroidery and a little bit of workshopping. This last part could have been lasted longer, but the experience is nice anyways.
Here is a (very) quick mock-up for a design concept, made with felting and el wire:
the lightning coffee enterior for cold and dark hours
The workshop was facilitated by two kind artists/designers from Holland, Melissa Coleman and Dorith Sjardijn.
Some pieces of the exhibition could not leave me without huge fascination. So here comes a tiny list of favorites:
experiments of embroidery applied for electronic components
i somehow love it
nice combination of the soft and the rough (very bad picture though)
love this, too
the circuit dress for noisy sound compositions on your own body*
i want to try to build one
*i will check upon the artist names
So hard not to mention almost all the pieces – they all have a nice feature and they are very different in character. Which is, i think, what makes it so interesting within this field: there are amazingly endless possibilities – and it talks to all the senses. And on a very exciting level.
More of these days and events. please.
