Weaved. Programmable Textile – Modelling fabrics into three-dimensional structures

Category Members Processing People Posted on:

For the past few months, Tel-Aviv-based designer Dana Zelig has been experimenting with textiles and polymers to wonderful results. Exploring different kinds of polymers and different ways of applying them to fabric, the results of Dana’s experiments changed from week to week. Soon she will start producing costumed-mixed plastic sheets with strength and flexibility according to different needs.

With Weaved. Programmable Textile Dana is able to model fabrics into three-dimensional structures using physical-programmed plastic patterns. Following her experiments in physical programming with "Traces", a project we reported on last year, she decided to examine the possibility of applying plastic to fabrics, by means of pressing them together, allowing the heat to manipulate the plastic, and the manipulated plastic to effect the adjusted fabric.

Hortum Machina, B – Speculative urban cyber-gardener

Created by Danilo Sampaio and William Victor Camilleri at the The Interactive Architecture Lab at UCL/London, Hortum Machina, B is a half garden, half machine, cybernetic lifeform that explores new forms of bio-cooperative interaction between people and nature, within the built environment.

Konrad Zuse and the origins of the modern computer – Zuse Computer Museum

Created by Schnellebuntebilder, four installs now on display at the ZCOM Zuse Computer Museum in Hoyerswerda, Germany, capture and celebrate the pioneering work of Konrad Zuse, famed German engineer and inventor whose biggest achievement, the 1941 Turing-complete programmable computer Z3, is regarded to be the world’s first of its kind.

Traces – Physical programming of freeform folding in soft matter

Created by Dana Zelig, Traces project explores the concept of programming everyday materials, a form of “physical programming” where objects are “made to act” on some form following specific instructions.
