SONIC RUG is the result of an artistic approach to smart textiles. The project explores the possibilities of connecting soft material to the digital space, manifesting in an interactive installation: A basic frequency can be triggered, amplified, and distorted by touching different parts on the surface. The fluffy texture, operating as a sensor, is connected to a program – elongated and repeated sounds are created, wandering from harmonic variations to clusters and distortions, tunes are cumulating into a blast of noise. Not the aesthetics of technology are in the forefront, but tangible values of handicrafts and the quality of a soft and comfortable texture.
