The traditional Kantha embroidery is practised with conductive threads to experiment with the electrical conductivity in the garments.
The project explores the interplay of technology with crafts. Through the use of conductive thread embroidery in the traditional Kantha style, discarded fabrics find new life. It is a musical jacket that embodies interactivity and emotional connection. By integrating a microcontroller and a capacitive touch sensor, the garments plays the folk music of the Kantha artisan community whenever the embroidery is touched.
