Smart Textiles are a new trend on the intersections of fashion, art and technology, where innovative materials and electronics are integrated in a textile carrier. Artists and designers are bringing textiles to life using movement, light and sound and thus they visualise their views on contemporary culture. Pretty Smart Textiles brings together for the first time e-textiles made by young artists and designers in the Netherlands. The exhibition is an initiative of Stichting Villanuts, and is curated by Melissa Coleman and Dorith Sjardijn.
