tively explores the
speculative and poetic potential of static electricity found in our
everyday environmentThe project 'E-Static Shadows' is a
practise-based experimental research project by architect Jackson Tan and designer Dr. Zane
Berzina which creas, surrounding our everyday interactions. The aim of
the project is to investigate how electrostatic energy could either be
effectively utilised or play a part in the development of active,
responsive and interactive textile systems which would be capable of
detecting, translating and displaying this energy into dynamic
audio-visual patterns. This design pilot project studies the possible
translations of electrostatic energy into other types of energy such as
light, sound and motion using specially engineered intelligent textile
systems as mediators and displays for these processes.
