It is a collection of textile interfaces. The form, function and aesthetics are designed mimicking a biological element, a multi-layered structure of a living organism. The soft material behaves as an organic display - members of the collection react on definable impulses.\r\n\r\nThe fabrication process of SymbiosisO is based on both handicraft procedures and digital, specialized techniques. To activate the heat sensitive coating layer, the electronics is embedded into the soft structure. Felt is used as a substrate material due to its excellent properties. Voronoi tessellation algorithm is used for generating the geometry. The arrangement of cells intuitively suggests to fold the material into a three dimensional landscape.\r\n\r\nThe general concept in first place was a tribute to the ultimate power of evolution, where not only the human civilization impacts the environment, but nature itself reacts and adopts to these changes. Instead of criticizing the civilizations consequences on the environment, the possible arise of new types of mutant living beings can be explored.\r\n\r\nFor more information, please visit the page http:\/\/symbiosiso.com\/\r\n\r\nPicture: Anu Vahtra"},{"img":"gal\/Projects_Installations_20.jpg_[1364897549].jpg","thumbail":"gal\/Projects_Installations_20.jpg_[1364897549].jpg","text":"SymbiosisO: Voxel "},{"img":"gal\/Projects_Installations_30.jpg_[1364897598].jpg","thumbail":"gal\/Projects_Installations_30.jpg_[1364897598].jpg","text":"A traditional textile in this case is hacked and cracked, so it is able to record and remember the surroundings, as well as memorize and perform all later on, using the sound that has a strong impact on the impression of the visual.

It was inspired by the topic on the Mille Fleur Tapestries, being an interpretation of the 16th century original brought to nowadays. Before creating the image, it was investigated where the unicorns in our culture have ended up placed to. The sounds were released whenever a shadow was over the tapestry, the stronger and closer the shadow, the louder were the sounds. It was made in 2004, being the first interactive textile by K\u00e4rt. Size: 150 cm x 170 cm "}]
