Digital Encounters: Moving Textiles
Herbert Reade Gallery at the University of the Creative Arts, Canterbury, 21 June - 26 July, 2014
Digital Encounters was the final exhibition in the Crysalis Moving Textiles series. The works of more than forty textile designers, artists and craftspeople were presented to explore the place of digital technology in contemporary textile practice. Presented in four curated zones, the exhibition serves as a showcase of innovation and invites visitors to experience and consider the impact of the digital revolution on textile arts. The exhibition aims to expand awareness of the inspirations, processes and technologies which have remained central to textile practice on either side of the digital revolution, and to consider the skills and knowledge necessary to be a textile artist-designer in the 21st century.
