Magnetic Reverberations is an interactive textile reimagining electromagnetic actuators through the lens of soft goods and hand-operated Jacquard weaving. Woven in one piece, magnets and copper coils embedded in the fabric’s layers enable eight flaps on its surface to be individually controlled through a web interface. This creates an experience where viewers can play with the cloth, opening and closing the flaps, revealing or hiding the warm glow of neon yarns hidden inside
This project was created as part of the 2023 Experimental Weaving Residency
