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.
