Ambient Weavingー環境と織物


Since 2020, Yasuaki Kakehi Lab has conducted joint research with HOSOO Co., Ltd., a long-established manufacturer of Nishijin textiles, and ZOZO NEXT, Inc., an advanced fashion technology-oriented company. In this research, functional materials and devices are woven into textiles with the unique structure and design of Nishijin textiles, in an attempt to achieve a balance between new functions and representations mediated by environmental information and textiles. \"Ambient Weaving - Environment and Textiles\" was an exhibition held at HOSOO GALLERY from April to September 2021, and through five works created as textiles that express the ambient environment's characteristics and where the actual ambient environment is woven into the textiles, it presents the modern state of human beings, the environment, and textiles. This exhibition can now be experienced in a virtual gallery.
