She presents her work in the form of multisensory experiences through the research and development of smart textile material for the body that is at the same time intimate, sensitive and loud.

Trada Ip became interested in knitting as a primary student.

After her blindness, she had no choice but to give up this interest because it was difficult for her to go to the woollen yarn shop. In 2009, with the support of volunteers from an organisation for the visually-impaired, she picked up knitting once again, and even participated in […]

Satomi Mika and Hannah Perner-Wilson have been collaborating since 2006, and in 2008 formed the collective KOBAKANT. Together, through their work, they explore the use of textile crafts and electronics as a medium for commenting on technological aspects of today’s ‘high-tech’ society. KOBAKANT believes in the spirit of humour technology, often presenting their work as a twisted criticism of the stereotypes surrounding textile craftsmanship and electrical engineering. KOBAKANT believes that technology exists to be hacked, handmade and modified by everyone […]
