Textilization of Light

Light enables us to see. Light reflected by the walls of a room shapes our perception of that room. The walls may pose a physical barrier, but what we see are reflections from the walls. Still, we rarely contemplate light because it is not the light that we see so much as the effect that it has on surfaces. By suggesting textiles as a design model for LED technology, the PhD project Textilization of Light - Using Textile Logics to Expand the Use of LED Technology from a Technology of Display to a Technology of Spatial Orientation investigates how textile ideas can be applied to expand the use of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) fro a two-dimensional display technology to a technology with spatial qualities.
