Interactive textilesA collective challenge for product and visual communication designer bridging arbitrary fields of activities
material / immaterial
bits / atoms
digital / analog
product / visual communication
teory / practice
craft / computer technology
research / pedagogy
. A cooperation between Diffus, the Danish School of Design and University of Copenhagen
Interactive textilesSubject of the workshop:
The main issue of the workshop is to look at, experience with and learn from situations of communication through what we wear and bring that to a higher or different level through the combination of computer technology and the materiality of fabric. The achievement is to develop systems of what we could call "collaborative or communicating clothing" which will bring forth new sophisticated platforms of expression in terms of fashion, performance art, dance theatre or likewise. The workshop will elaborate on the goals, boundaries and consequences of such new potential for the individual expression.
A cooperation between Diffus, the Danish School of Design and University of Copenhagen
Interactive textilesGoals:
To understand the potential of interactive technology
To define a new language for wearable expression
To explore new paradigms of expressing identities trough smart textiles.
To explore possibilities of applications in related fields like space design, scnenography, choregraphy,
furniture design. To explore new computer mediated interaction scenarios
To combine traditional textile practices with computational design
To create sensual, tactil artifacts combined with computer mediated abilities.

Interactive textilesMethod:
1) Invevestigation of three possible technologies- Luminescent wires, films and strips- Thermochromic ink- SPD emulsion ( in a later stage)

Method:
4) Defining the ”story” as well as the rules and nature of the realtime
based interaction mediated by the garment
Input ? pollution, hearthbeats, sound level, proximity...
Output ? blinking, fading...
Rules ? When, where, why...

Method:
5) Experimenting and playing with the technologyHere, an early experimentation shows how a 50mm constant wire
is heated up with 9 watt (9 volt, around 1 amp). It produces a 100% change of color after 1 second, the time for the
heat to migrate into the textil.

A Visit: the Swedish School of Textiles:At the Swedish School of Textiles the creativity of art is combined with the ingenuity of technology. This combination is the common thread for textile research conducted in a variety of themes within four main research areas:
• Design
• Technology
• Management
• Craft
