Week 11: Final Project Planning

Soft Speaker References + Info

Care Processing Unit, Liza Stark
“an interactive quilt embedded with reconfigurable textile speakers, each one storing an audio remembrance.“


I like that the components of the quilt are modular - and the embroidery is beautiful. She used beads to insulate conductive thread.


Jess Rowland
This artist has done many projects with flat speakers - mostly using copper paper. This one is so cool - it’s a flat speaker and you can choose where to play sound from by holding a magnet over it.




Broderies Sonores, Claire Williams
Instead of playing an audio file, this artist uses the vibration of the fabric with round magnets to create sound.
