Hard Twist 9 Fibre Optics

This exhibition of textiles in the Digital Age plugs into the juncture where textile connects with computer technology and exposes how the digital touches cloth as obliquely as in a digital image of a hand-dyed, hand-woven piece or as directly as a hand-knit QR code connecting us to video of the sheep whose wool is integral to the piece.

For this ninth edition of the Gladstones hallmark textile art show, artists were asked to submit work that is formed by, illustrates, uses or otherwise relates to the combination of textiles and digital technology. Or vice-versa! The result has been a stunning array of works that push the boundaries of this medium and invite the viewer to delight in new modes of making.
