The burning tablecloth
- 2009

Annan publikation (film/video) (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Imagine that the table is set and dinner is ready. It’s time to sit down and share the moment. That is what we do also in terms of sharing a one time pattern change in the tablecloth, and in terms of sharing each others’ mobile phone activity. Incoming phone calls and messages are not notified by the phones themselves, but through a burned out pattern in the tablecloth, in between our plates. The Burning Tablecloth serves as a design example of the design technique for irreversible patterns, expressing colour and structure-changes in a knitted textile. The Burning Tablecloth changes colour and structure according to mobile phone signals (calls and text messages) with burned out patterns and acts as a medium for raising questions about interactive tactile and visual expressions in textiles. The project is a design example of research into three fields, knitted circuits, textile patterns and peoples’ relation to computational technology. The tablecloth is knitted with cotton yarns and a heating wire in a Stoll flatbed knitting machine. The pattern that appears when using the tablecloth is built up as squares with the potential of becoming chess-patterned over the whole tablecloth surface. The table-cloth is connected to a microcontroller and various electronic components. The heating wire knitted in the table-cloth is the active material; when heated it is able to change the colour and structure of the table-cloth. The burning tablecloth reacts to mobile phone signals by getting warm so that colour and eventually structure changes is appearing in the tablecloth. The experiment demonstrates a design example where visual and tactile interactive properties are expressed in a tablecloth by mobile phone signals. Combined in a material structure, textile circuits are controlled by external stimuli adding an aesthetical value to the textile expression. With a foundation of experienced knowledge from latter experiments, the tablecloth shows an example developed by the design technique for irreversible patterns. The Burning Tablecloth also demonstrates how information can be expressed in an esthetical way through textiles, acting as an interactive colour and structure changing ambient textile display.

Textile Possibilities
- 2008
-
Annan publikation (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Textile can be more than just patterns and washability. Today it can have other functions, visible or hidden and they can be interactive. Textile has simply become high-tech. What used to be considered science fiction is today reality. The exhibition TEXTILE POSSIBILITIES focuses on experiments that explores the possibilities that modern textile materials offers. There are no actual products on display in the exhibition, instead the latest research from textile is shown. For instance, visitors can experience how electricity, heat and movements alter colours and structures within the textiles. The exhibition shows the research process and lets the visitor interact with the different textile prototypes. The exhibition TEXTILE POSSIBILITIES aims to inspire, convey knowledge and to visualise a possible textile development. It shows a way for how experimental design research through collaboration with the commercial community can affect and build it’s own future here in Sweden.

Knitted Forms in Movement
- 2014
-
Annan publikation (utställning/event) (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Presence in a space has own rhythm of change; it is organic,but it can be expressed structurally by the textile forms. The textile acts as a mirror between spaces that have been separated; the textile collects and spreads information through changes in structure. Motion sensors embedded in the textile are tracking the movement in one space, after a short time the textile starts to rotate the knitted modules in a slow pace repositioning its patterns.

Voluminous Interactive Architectural Substance ("Soft Architectural Body" and "Pliant Flesh of Architecture")
- 2019
-
Annan publikation (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- In this architectural research exploration, we challenge the notion of an interactive architectural surface as single-layered, two-dimensional surface/interface. If the future architectural interiors and exteriors are made from Voluminous Architectural Substance, how will it be to dwell with them? This exhibition, featured at the Tempe Center for the Arts (TCA) in Tempe, Arizona, USA, shows two physical, interactive architectural prototypes probing this question in-depth. Prototype 1 - The Pliant Flesh of Architecture How would it be if the building was collecting and sharing your data? Would you like to be aware of it? Imagine a building that has assimilated the archaic add-ons. Assimilated power outlets, lamps and doors. They are a part of its substance. Imagine a building that will light up the space in advance, based on the direction of your movements. You’ll never see darkness. Imagine a building that will divide the space to satisfy your needs before you even think about them. At some point you will wonder if your living room and kitchen even exist when you are not there. Is there such a thing as ‘a room’ when you are not in it? What is a room? Is there such a thing as a dark room? Prototype 2 - The Soft Architectural Body How would it feel to touch the Voluminous Architectural Substance? The slow change of perspectives. Of the eye. Of the hand. There might be movement within the wall-bulk. Inner. Inner you. Inner body-wall. What is a wall? Volume? Bulk? Softness? Enclosure? Embrace? Separation? Juncture?
