Some parts of the pattern on the wall-hanging corresponds to the printed pattern on the woven details on the costumes.
When shown at performances the dancers movements activate and change some parts of the colour and pattern on the wall-hanging by heat.
The three costumes are knitted with cotton and silvercoated copper yarns. The costumes also consist of woven pigment printed details. All costumes are also consisting of electronics including a microcontroller and a radio transmitter.
The wall-hanging are woven in wool yarn together with steal heating yarn and is printed with thermocronic colours. The wall-hanging is connected to electronics including a microcontroller and a radioreciever. It is also connected to an energy source.
In this project we create a link between body, textile material and space. Textiles and garments shall inspire to motion that generates variability. When a body moves through a space, touches other bodies and parts of its garment, it affects the visual expression in the room. More specifically the background changes and adapts partially to the pattern of the garments. The base for our investigation is to perform artistic work with the expression of set design in the centre, that shows the possibilities, matters and values of fashion and textile design beyond the traditional boundaries. The tapestry is weawed in cotton, steel and wool. Print in heat sensitive pigment (supplier Variotherm Zenit Konsthantverk AB). The dresses are knitted in cotton and silverthreads.

The knitted samples and the tablecloth were made together with Tommy Martinsson and Folke Sandvik at the knitting department at the Swedish School of Textiles, University College of Borås.
