Intro
In the past four years we learn at general theory the quote of Marshall McLuhan (1964) – "The medium is the message" – and have to learn how he saw the message would transmit and in with case the medium influences the message.
After four years of a art academy I learn a lot of my perspective as a graphic designer how to give message in form as ‘it could be everything’ but I never consider to do it in textiles. On some way I always had a weak for textiles. The softness, patroness and colours and the story’s behind it. This weakness for textiles create also a obsession with it. How it is created and the creation behind it. It is a complex system that we forget this days, even when we as a graphic designer work with this for every day. We know how to work with machines, where the typography come’s from to design patrons, posters enz. But skip the part of textile even as non-European art. We as a designer forget the communication part of textiles in this world without language. We started to remember things when we storage in our memory’s, in our heads or in a book, of how computers started with core memory weaving the barring’s into zero’s and one’s.
Thermochromic Textiles
The word "thermochromic"
Thermo comes from the Greek word "thermos," which means warm or hot.
Chromic comes from "chroma," meaning color. A thermochromic substance changes color as it changes temperature.
In fabrics, a special dye acts as the thermochromic agent.
Dyeing Textiles
Experimenting whit thermochromic pigments and thread.
pigments bought at:
This is form America and the tax is quite high, but nice pigments!
and a lot of choices
https://solarcolordust.com/t/ultra-thermal-dust
for just a experiment I advise to buy it in the UK :
https://www.sfxc.co.uk/ or on Amazon.uk
Experimenting with binders, textiles and thread
binders:
Textile binder for silkscreening
arabische gom
P-fixer
Achriel verf binder
watercolour binder
azijn
acryl medium
textiles:
Polyerster
nylon
plain cotton
cotton dye wihite
latex
Thread/yarn:
100% cotton + colour withe
100% cotton + colour grey
60% cotton + 40% acryl
50% cotton + 50% acryl
100% acryl colour gray
100% acryl
process
Conductive Thread
Heating and Weaving Textiles

WifiTapestry is a dynamic wall hanging that visualises the wireless activity of a space. The tapestry visualises the ever changing "landscape" of radio frequencies around us. The invisible signals from Cellphones, printers and all kinds of smart devices leave an imprint as they try to negotiate available wireless channels.
A controller listens to all traffic across 13 channels of the 2.4GHz WiFi Spectrum.
Whenever data is transmitted on a channel, the controller sends a current to an array of thermal elements embedded in the tapestry,
converting data into heat and activating a thermochromic yarn woven into the tapestry. Like a Shroud of Turin,
streams of data transmitted through a space appear as visual traces from an invisible dimension that gradually form and dissolve.

The title of 100 Electronic Art Years refers to the ambiguous lifetime of color-change textiles,
and all electronic art. All art fails. All electronic art fails.
The question is how, and with what result?
Anne-Marie http://emeteuz.com/woven-signals/
Woven Signals aims at fusing new technologies with the fabrication techniques characteristic of traditional textile design to create functional fibers and integrated textiles, specially a woven display.
The textile is woven with a custom-made thermochromic cotton yarn spun with conductive wire. Designed patterns incorporate channels for low-power current. When activated, the generated resistive heat catalyzes the dyed fibers to change color and reveal a hidden, programmatically-controlled content.
Woven Signals is inspired by the mutually informative histories of textiles and communications, and aims to investigate a fiber's ability to transmit information and emotion through visual and tactile interactions.
