A Fabric Globe That Makes the Birds Sing as You Touch Them
Textile Tropics by Anuvad Innovation Studio for the Conscious Collective by Godrej Design Lab is an interactive, sensory experience simulating an urban forest using electronic textiles developed through traditional crafts.
Textile Tropics is an immersive e-textile installation for the Conscious Collective by Godrej Design Lab made in collaboration with traditional artisans. The installation is a simulated walk-through of an urban forest where the audience interacts with the pieces through touch-based stimuli and gets feedback in terms of birdsongs, rustling leaves, and lights. The installation consists of 15 interactive globes, each working independently and wirelessly yet interconnected as an ecosystem, mirroring nature itself. To encourage people to protect it, we have chosen birds that are commonly found in Indian urban spaces but are often forgotten or ignored.
