Introduction group 2

The students in group 2

Carla Bellisio (From England)

Michael Beccalli (From Italy)

Ellinor F. Johansson (From Sweden)

We are three of the students participating in the Smart Textiles workshop at the Swedish School of Textiles, Carla, Michael and Ellinor. The research we've done is based on what's out there and what we find interesting. .

“The environmental effect of smart textile, either the human environment or the external. For example changing in temperature, sweat, harvesting it, pollution and using different energy sources to show the interaction between humans and space.”

The research we’ve gathered is textiles that change/respond/react depending on the quality of the surrounding space and its content. The images are of textiles that change depending on the air, temperature, human health conditions and more.
