2.9. – 7.9.
Ars Electronica Festival Exhibition by Keio-NUS CUTE Center

AmbiKraf is a non-emissive textile display that merges traditional techniques of printing and painting on textiles with novel interactive technology. Screen-printed patterns are subtly animated in response to the proximity of the viewer, drawing him or her to interact with the textile screen. We are exploring a new kind of product that stays true to its traditional roots as a craft but moves into becoming the craft of the Digital era, a NeoCraft. Ambikraf frees painting on textiles from its static form, rendering  it dynamic and interactive. With the animation of this piece, printed flowers bloom and wither depicting the cyclic system and temporality of nature as well as the passage of time itself.
