A Piece of Textile Art That Plays Music
Materials, manual weaving on handloom, and some advanced materials and technology to create an artifact that is neither a piece of art nor a piece of technology when seen in isolation. The artifact exists in a symbiotic relationship with the people around it. The technology and cultural symbolism of the Bhujodi motifs create an audio-scape that completely transforms every being that experiences it. We have woven an aesthetically pleasing and functional fabric-digital music synthesiser.
The symbols represent the local culture of the ‘Bhuj-Kutch’ region of India, where the weavers community has lived for hundreds of years in sync with nature. We bring together these elements of culture and natural material. With our research into weaving, we have fused relevant electronics to create an E-textile artifact that makes a direct, tactile encounter with the audience and opens up new social spaces when exhibited. One of the main highlights of our product is that except for some electronics rest of the process is built using locally sourced natural materials and is entirely built using hands in a very scalable process. Thus, we present a very ecological approach to building functional, simple, and aesthetically beautiful E-textiles.
