IFM's Electric Plaid is a unique textile display technology and design material. It is used by
IFM to create hand woven, sensuous individual artworks, interior design and architectural surfaces. Electric Plaid combines woven electronic circuits, color-change inks and drive electronics, to add TIME AND
MOTION to textile patterns and design.
Patterns change color slowly over time, to give you information or change the decor of the room. Electric Plaid is a reflective (it doesn't light up!) color-change medium.
Electric Plaid can be combined with IFM's textile sensors, StitchSwitch, to create fully interactive textiles and artworks.

I work on my thesis and on my articles.
The undisturbed flow of information is important for my work.
I use both physical and virtual worksettings for my work. All physical and virtual work settings provide me to access and store information that is necessary for my thesis.
The work consists of inspiration, research, reading, data collection, discussion and writing. So my workscape is nearly all the places where i am either alone or with friends, collegues or instructors during daytime or nighttime, when i am awake.
İ carry out my work in three different cities. It is importnt for me to access, download, upload and store information from everywhere i live.
