Saturday June 5th, 14.00
Atelier Nord Project Room

Diffus is a Danish/French design duo with a practical approach to art, design and new media. At the end of 2009 they launched The Climate Dress, a piece of clothing which senses and visualizes levels of pollution in the environment through hundreds of small LED lights inserted into the embroidery. The duo is now developing solar cells sized and formed as sequins.

The presentation is the culmination of a week long worklab at Atelier Nord with the topic E-textiles and alternative energy. A group of textile artists, media artists and designers have worked together to form an E-textiles installation which senses and communicates environmental conditions through physical changes in the textile. Experiences and results from the worklab will also be presented.

The presentation and the worklab is part of Soft Technology, a project aiming at research and competence building within electronic textiles and textile electronics in Scandinavia.
