Mute experiments with sound absorbing and reflecting
properties of textiles in combination with architectural space, interior
configuration, and movement over time. The project develops implications
for textile, sound, and interior design in public environments.
This project acts as a probe into a specific property of textile materials
in contexts of use – pointing towards potentials for developing
such textile properties to be made dynamic through technology.

Design examples:
Silent bulletin boards
Intended, for example, in classrooms to indicate and affect sound levels.
A bulletin board that 'communicates' by means of changing patterns of
sound reflection and absorption, which is expressed visually by means
of movements in the material. Silent billboards might be similar to
the bulletin board but much bigger and intended, for instance, to be
placed in the vicinity of highways
