Fuzzy Light Wall, 2005
Commissioned by Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum,
Extreme Textiles, Designing for High Performance, Curated by Mathilda
McQuaid, New York, NY, April 8 - October 30, 2005.
A variety of fuzzy electronic textile sensors are
applied to this interactive light grid. This piece was designed
to allow viewers to explore dynamic repeat and pattern through touch,
as opposed to dynamic pattern control with software, as in the color
change fabric. As viewers touch the sensors, lights behind the sensors
dim on and off, revealing hidden color and pattern. Viewers can
create different patterns and shift light and color effects by moving
their hands over the surface of the work. With IFM Design Studio.
Media: Hand-made conductive sensors, conductive yarns, machine
embroidery, conductive tape, acrylic, wood, incandescent light,
lighting control circuitry. Fifteen textile sensor areas. 5'w x
3'h.
