Interweave: digital technology and design

Interweave -a day exploring technology and design in 2011 in collaboration with Central Saint Martins, Microsoft, ARUPS, with Jo Morrison, Director of Digital Projects, CSM. The event explored society through technology, tools and textiles and offered presentations, hands-on making sessions with artists and engineers as well as an engaging bespoke ‘walkshop’ through the museum’s collection. Interweave offered the opportunity to look at the ways in which the use of materials, such as jute, nylon, cement and iron, as well as new tools and technologies have re-shaped communities radically.
