Alt-w

Explore a snap-shot of new media practice and creative engagement with digital culture, as seen through the lens of the Alt-w award. Since it's establishment the fund has supported over sixty practitioners in their exploration of new technologies and net-based creativity.

Initially concerned to support artists’ experiments with the emerging medium of the world wide web, the works now represent the wider evolution of digital culture. From pure research to dynamic production, the huge range of ideas and depth of enquiry these works represent reasserts the vibrancy of play, experiment and research in new media practice in Scotland.

This project explores the nature of space and place and will examine the concept of a bodily connection with the land through sketch prototyping of stretch sensors in sculptural textile forms. The resulting series of woven pieces for the body will be remotely connected to three-dimensional forms in the Scottish landscape, combining information from each to create unique low frequency feedback to be experienced by the wearer.
