Fabric(a): Co-crafting Textiles with Robots

Published: 10 November 2020 Publication History

Abstract

With the influence of emerging digital technologies and digital fabrication techniques, textile craft practice has been evolving into new forms and dimensions interweaving digital and analog qualities. Fabric(a) project aims at experimenting with analogue and digital techniques to create new ways of crafting fabrics in a collective and interactive way. This paper addresses an experiment conducted in an open science event in order to co-craft a six-meter-long textile by two programmable drawing robots and human participants. The paper discusses how new interaction modalities between man-machine can alter the way we co-craft textiles and what kind of new ways of crafting might emerge from this collaboration

Fabric(a) research project funded by Free University of Bozen-Bolzano aims at experimenting with analogue and digital techniques to create new ways of crafting fabrics in a collective and interactive way. This video explains an experiment conducted in an open science event to co-craft a six-meter-long textile by two programmable drawing robots and human participants. It poses a discussion on how new interaction modalities between man-machine can alter the way we co-craft textiles and what kind of new ways of crafting might emerge from this collaboration.
