Vibrant Lives Presents The Living Net

Jessica Rajko, Jacqueline Wernimont, Eileen Standley, Stjepan Rajko, and Michael Krzyzaniak

The Living Net is one of several techno-textile projects created by the Vibrant Lives team. Using our Vibrant Lives app, we transform the network activity — or “data shed” — of event participants into a sound file that then plays through subsonic subwoofers, thereby causing the Living Net to vibrate at a variable rate depending on the amount of data being shed.

Figure 3.1. Vibrant Lives presents The Living Net. Format: Mixed media interactive piece. Materials: Finger-crocheted paracord and yarn with Woojers and custom sonification app. Additional mixed media from our scholarly networks woven into the net-work as part of the performance. Research by Jessica Rajko, Jacqueline Wernimont, and Eileen Standley. Textile work by Jessica Rajko with Jacqueline Wernimont. Software design by Stjepan Rajko and Michael Krzyzaniak.
