In NetWork the ancient craft of weaving is combined with contemporary video engineering. The installation includes participatory weaving elements using electric wires. These same wires also conduct live video from LoVid’s handmade synthesizer. The combination of weaving and live electric signal represents human touch and attention throughout the passage of time. During the time of the exhibition the woven elements will grow through visitors participation. It will develop and be preserved as an object of recorded time and gesture.

For the performance:

The LoVid family will introduce NetWork to visitors of all ages in a participatory performance. The performance will include weaving as well as tactile video interactions.
