Strings is an immersive installation that deals with issues across the fields of craft, textile technologies, sonic art and responsive design. It investigates bidirectional relations within everyday surroundings, focusing on the relationships between space, texture, and bodily expression, and attempting to exploit them through a combination of innovative soft technologies and traditional art practices such as weaving, printmaking and embroidery.Developed by artist Myrto Karanika and sound artist Jeremy Keenan, Strings fuses gestural, computational, weaving & musical strings; these elements set the ground for a bidirectional relation of affect between the audio-haptic features of the installation and the users’ engagement with them.
