5. E-textiles

Research

I started to think of the most recent projects where I made E-textiles to see what I need to know from this week and where it can lead me. This summer, I went to a TransHack Feminist Festival in Catalunya in Spain. There I made some experimental discoveries and I also gave a workshop based on my own personal research and creative work. The workshop I did was related to my grand father story of resistance and my connection to it with the Enigma machine, the beggining of computering and AI and looms as being some of the first computers.
We wove different symbols representing an alphabet and connected them to a code I made on processing to connect visuals and sounds on Ableton. I would like to continue this experimentation in order to make small weavings connectable on a website where I would store all the people's symbols of resistance.

These are experiments we were making at the festival, where I was trying to control the effects of the experimental sounds generated live with Claire Wiliams. I connected my Midi controller to cactus fruits I found in the area and aloe vera leaves. I also made a jacket with a frequency reader sewn on it in order to get the radio and the frequencies, worn and tried in Bugarach, France.

I started thinking of my ideas for the final project and how I could include E-textile in it.

  • Conductive embroidery

  • Costume : costumes that react : material with water/ metal: on my body directly, performance

  • Arduino : Use Arduino to connect my midi-controller Playtronica and use Arduino’s memory to not have to use a computer.

  • ex: take the 0 & 1 modules and make them hide other 0 and 1 with circuit or code.
