  • SymbiosisS

    Kärt Ojavee, Eesti Kunstiakadeemia; Eszter Ozsvald, New York University

    SymbiosisS is part of a collection of textile interfaces, SymbiosisO (“O” for objects), which behave as organic displays and react to definable impulses by showing pre-defined patterns that animate slowly over the surface. It welcomes viewers to sit and rest on soft-folded material that displays an active, slowly shifting pattern. SymbiosisS was selected for inclusion in the SIGGRAPH 2012 Art Gallery.
