Intention

Write about the big ideas behind your project? What are the goals? Why did you make it? What are your motivations?

The big idea behind my project is to use electronic textiles in an interactive medium for both kids and adults. As a person who loves to make books and create stories, I wanted to incorporate electronic textiles in a new way. I thought of illustrating a story by incorporating Gemma controllers, wires, and LEDs, just like we did on our first day of class. My motivation for this was to make a book using new media that I was unfamiliar with and that I could explore, in order to make a typical paper storybook into something more interesting and exciting for all audiences.
