puntKom #4 – Your textile or mine? A workshop on smart, interactive & social textiles
Posted on Thursday February 18th 2010 at 16:57
The fourth puntKom (puntKom is a series of informal evenings on culture, technology, design,…) will be a hands-on evening on smart/ interactive /social textiles.Two parallel workshops will be organised: Wendy van Wynsberghe (BE – Constant vzw – http://bit.ly/csKrsc) will provide for a practical insight in the creation of low-tech high-fun smart – interactive – social textiles.
The other workshop will be lead by Berit Greinke (GE – http://textileandsound.com/ & http://www.beritgreinke.com/). In her work Greinke tries to address other senses than only the visual or the tactile when working with (or wearing) textiles. She will moderate a creative brainstorm, followed by a workshop starting from the tools (like an Arduino-based light-scanner) she developed in her artistic work.
puntKom #4 is held on the 11th of March at the Media & Design Academy in Genk. The evening starts at 18.45h and ends at 22h.
The workshops are free, but registration at http://www.puntKom.nu is obliged!
