The smart textile arena is characterized by application referring to real smart textiles, high performance textiles and wearable technologies. The aim of this project is to investigate how this new smart textile arena can be the playground for developing a new set of wearables that address the question of integrity and to introduce a new level of integration of smart textile in R&D and education.

Integrity 2010 – A Smart Textile interdisciplinary artistic research project – Exhibition

Four design and management students from the Swedish School of Textiles – Marta Kisand, Anna Lidström, Eleonor Johansson and Katja Schmitz – are pleased to present the intermediate results of their smart-textile project that concerns integrity of smart textile and clothing in a metropolitan context. Photos, films, sound and prototypes of wearables, that reflect both impressions from the Swedish calm and quiet, reserved cities and nature and from the crowded place in Tokyo, are shown. Visitors of the exhibition are invited to actively participate in the further development of the project.

The purpose of the project is to elaborate metropolitan culture and how new technology can mirror a responsible future. It is about turning the perspective inwards in order to create alternative humanistic solutions to regain integrity in the fashion industry.
