E-static shadows

There is a hidden electrostatic world around us, surrounding our everyday interactions.
A young textile artist Zane Berzina is working on intelligent textile systems, which would be capable of detecting this energy and translating it into dynamic audio-visual patterns. She also studies the possible translation of e-static energy into other types of energy such as light, sound and motion.
Equipped with tiny LED lights, transistors and woven electronic circuits integrated into the electronic textiles structure, the material is able to create transient shadows on the textile display in areas which detect a presence of electrostatic fields.
