Following the development of a simple thread into complex new media objects, the exhibition will touch upon recent developments in the areas of wearable technology and electronic sculpting through lumino light objects, presentation of Arduino microcontrollers and the use of e-Textiles.

Dealing with sculptural textile (J. Štefanec) and electronic thread (A. Klančič), designed substance and new meanings of objects (P. Donà), as well as socially responsible textile art (M. M. Pungerčar), the exhibition will present an overview of contemporary new media directions and question the meaning of the medium as such.
