Almost Square, 2006


Almost Square is woven in a double weave structure. The software focuses on creating patterns with different "types" of pixels or color change areas. Skinny pixels have conductive yarns placed close together and fat pixels have conductive yarns spaced apart. This work introduces the concept of performance in color change textiles. Viewers touch a button to start the piece. It then performs for a fixed period of time. With IFM Design Studio.

Media: Hand-woven cotton, rayon, conductive yarns, silver ink, hand printed thermochromic ink, custom drive electronics and expressive software. 3 eight-pixel units. 16"w x 48"h.
