Exhibitions "Honey I’m Home" Danish Design Centre, 2006 /////////////////////////////////////////////// Waltzing Light tapestry 2.10 x 6.8 metres x 20 cm /////////////////////////////////////////////// The wall consists of 26 x 8 LED elements. Patterns and lights are constantly changing. ‘Waltzing’ is an interactive modern light tapestry that combines old textile idioms with modern technology. Patterns and lights live in a changing organic surface that constantly dissolves and forms new patterns. Each pattern remains for four seconds then, over the next eight seconds, ‘dissolves’ into the next pattern. Lights and patterns can also be influenced interactively from a mat on the floor. The surface of ‘Waltzing’ consists of 26 x 8 squares backlit by light-emitting diodes (LEDs). The techno- logy makes it possible on the one hand to interact with the pattern and on the other to create the experience of an inherently mobile pattern surface that constantly changes character. The patterns are new interpretations of traditional Ikat -weaves. Traditionally, a tapestry has both functional and decorative qualities. 'Waltzing’ creates a dialogue with this tradition – in this case decoration is not monumental and static, but mobile and dynamic, in a dialogue with modern technology.
