Interactive Tablecloth, 1999
The Electronic Tablecloth was created to allow
viewers communicate personal information and answer questions by
touching a keypad embroidered into the tablecloth. Each tablecloth
contains five embroidered keypads, five embroidered tag readers,
and five LED text displays. Viewers identified themselves with embroidered
tags in the form of coasters and used the embroidered keypads to
communicate and play games. Information (visual output) was displayed
on the LED text displays in the center piece. Originally connected
to a PC, today these works are displayed as wall mounted pieces.
With Rehmi Post and MIT Media Lab students.
Media: Machine embroidered conductive yarns, rayon, appliqued metallic
silk organza, linen, sensing electronics, tag reader, PC, LED text
displays and light emitting center piece. 60"w x 60"h.
