Report PuntKom #4
Posted by Selina on Monday March 15th 2010 at 16:04
On Thursday 11th of March, right after the ‘Stof tot Zorg’-workshop, the fourth edition of PuntKom (“Your textile or mine? A workshop on smart, interactive & social textiles”) took place. This edition of puntKom was on smart, intelligent and social textiles. In two parallel workshops, Wendy van Wynsberghe (BE – Constant vzw – http://bit.ly/csKrsc) and Berit Greinke (GE – http://textileandsound.com/ & http://www.beritgreinke.com/) showed how in their work they each play with smart textiles. Wendy and Berit also allowed the participants to stand in their shoes for a little while by letting them experiment with different tools and materials they use in their own artistic work.

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.
