Unfortunately, this is not an unmixed blessing. Products are constantly being improved, but designs are complicated, quality is vari¬ able, and good advice is hard to get.

  • Functional Styling - Exploring a Textile Design Space
    Functional Styling - Exploring a textile design space Anna Persson and Linda Worbin1 The Swedish School of Textiles, University of Borås Department of Computer Science and Engineering, Chalmers University of Technology INTRODUCTION As interactive materials enter the world of textile design, a new area is defined. From an interaction design perspective, interactive (or smart) textiles obviously differ from, for example, a computer game or a word processing program in various ways. One difference is that interactive textiles are experienced as physical materials and are not pixels changing colour on a computer display. But the main difference lies in the diverse aesthetical values; computer software and hardware are related to advanced technology, hard material and functionality whereas textiles are familiar, tactile, flexible and touchable. Still, textiles can build on of advanced technology. Functional aspects of interactive textiles have been thoroughly explored through for example health-monitoring devices (cf. for example [Lymberis and De Rossi, 2004]) and wearable electronics (cf. for example [Tao, 2005]). Other research includes interactive textile interfaces such as Super Celia Skin [Raffle, et al., 2004] and Sprout I/0. [Coelho and Maes, 2008]. The Smart Carpet is a large-area sensor network integrated into a carpet able to, for example, detect if someone has fallen on the floor [Glaser, et al., 2005]. Similar carpets, capable of detecting footsteps and the presence of a person, are available on the market [Future Shape, 2010]. To be able to understand the full potential of interactive textiles, we need to consider them as something new, designed in the intersection between textile design and interaction design.

  • Volume 23 1996 Issue 68
    Review of African Political Economy No.68:127-128 © ROAPE Publications Ltd., 1996 ISSN 0305-6244; RIX #6601 Editorial Ray Bush & Morris Szeftel This third issue of the Roape Review of Books, like the first two, continues to explore the response of scholarship and research to the key challenges confronting Africa. The themes raised here are again at the heart of Africa's political and economic development at the end of the century: food security; conflict resolution and the role and performance of NGOs. In addition, it is also important, in the wake of Africa95 to assess the way in which Africa has been portrayed in western discourse. This is what David Richards does in his appraisal of the major exhibitions, plays and workshops on Africa during 1995. He reminds us of the continuing, often crude and reductionist way in which Africa is perceived and also, when reviewing recent work of Soyinka in the aftermath of the murder of Ken Saro Wiwa and others by the Nigerian state, that speaking out against the tyanny of injustice is a very costly affair. Understanding the character of African politics and the dynamics of political power remain difficult but essential concerns. One dimenion of African politics, which is so often wrongly characterised and stereotyped, is food security. This remains a key issue in the way power is mobilised and sustained. At the end of 1996, there will be another international conference, this time organised by FAO, aiming to resurrect food and famine as an international political priority. The conference is intended to mobilise politicians, aid agencies and world dignitaries to do more than just issue rhetorical expressions of concern for Africa's starving millions.
