The Studio
Sound Hiders

Sound Hiders experimented with with sound-absorbing and sound-reflecting properties of textile material, imagining a possible near future when sensor technology and modern computational technology makes it possible to catch and hide sound in an efficient and simple manner. A near future when we may become sound hiders.

Our design experiments with textile and information technology explore a kind of display where the focus is on spatial movements over time. The central idea here is to leave the notion of the textile material as a plain surface with a static pattern and instead work with it as a space in three-dimensions.

Exhibition
Sound Hiders were exhibited at the Borås Textile Museum in 2002. The project was made possible with the support of: VINNOVA (the ePeople project), School of Textiles, The, University College of Borås, Ställningsbyggaren i Borås AB, Nordifa AB, Industri-Textil JOB AB, All Reklam, Capri, Zenit AB, Transportör & Gummiteknik AB
