Leaping Lines, 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.
Leaping Lines is a jacquard woven color change
textile. This piece was created to demonstrate a simple color change
effect on a repeat pattern in a busy public setting. Bold colors
and design are used to achieve this effect. Software runs in a continuous
loop, creating different patterns at different times on the surface
of the textile. Conductive yarns are machine woven in the weft only
and floated above the surface of the fabric, to allow for electrical
connection after the weaving process. Electrical connection is achieved
with adhesives and metallic silk organza. With IFM Design Studio.
Media: Jacquard woven fabric, conductive yarns, cotton, rayon,
conductive fabric, wire, custom drive electronics, and expressive
software. Thirty-two pixels. 16"w x 72"h.
