- Tapest[o]ry: exploring the interactive capabilities of tapestries as a storytelling toolPublication . Santos, Laura Sofia Quintal; Quintal Santos, Laura Sofia; Dionísio, Mara Sofia GomesOs nossos antepassados comunicavam histórias através de tapeçarias, utilizando-as para adornar espaços públicos e privados. Tradicionalmente, estas tapeçarias eram obras de arte estáticas pen duradas em paredes sem interação com o público. No entanto, os têxteis oferecem um meio versátil, que pode ser criado a partir de vários materiais e cores e manipulado para produzir texturas únicas e sensíveis ao tato. A nossa visão é integrar as capacidades táteis da tecelagem com a tecnologia de sensores capacitivos para criar uma instalação artística interativa media imersiva que explore o impacto negativo da poluição sonora nos ecossistemas marinhos. Os animais marinhos, partic ularmente os cetáceos, dependem fortemente do som para a comunicação, navegação e caça, e a poluição sonora pode perturbar estas funções essenciais. Ao aproveitar o potencial narrativo das tapeçarias e o poder dos sensores capacitivos conectados a microcontroladores, desenvolvemos uma instalação artística única e imersiva que educa o público e quem tem o poder de tomar medi das sobre estas questões preocupantes. Os resultados qualitativos e quantitativos sugerem que o Tapest[o]ry é uma ferramenta de interface tangível e eficiente para contar histórias interativas e sensibilizar para a poluição sonora marinha.
- Tapest[o]ry: promoting marine noise pollution awareness through an Interactive tangible tapestryPublication . Santos, Laura; Olim, Sandra M. Câmara; Campos, Pedro; Dionisio, Mara; Pereira Campos, Pedro Filipe; Campos, Pedro; Dionisio, Mara; Quintal Santos, Laura SofiaOur ancestors communicated stories through tapestries, using them to adorn public and private spaces. Traditionally, these tapestries were static artworks hanging on walls without audience interaction. Nevertheless, textiles offer a versatile medium, crafted from diverse materials and colours and manipulated to produce unique, touch responsive textures. Our work integrates the tactile capabilities of weaving with capacitive sensor technology to create an interactive art installation that fosters non-formal learning and raises aware ness about marine noise pollution and its harmful effects on marine ecosystems. Marine animals, particularly cetaceans, rely heavily on sound for communication, navigation, and hunting. Noise pollution disrupts these essential functions, presenting severe threats to their survival. By harnessing the storytelling potential of tapestries and the power of capacitive sensors connected to a microcontroller, we developed a unique and immersive art installation that educates the public and decision-makers about these pressing issues. This study evaluates the impact of this interactive tapestry on its audi ence. Qualitative and quantitative results suggest valuable insights, showcasing that Tapest[o]ry engages participants through its tan gible storytelling interface, fostering emotional responses such as empathy and compassion. Participants shared their thoughts about awareness of marine noise pollution, demonstrating the possible use of interactive art installations as storytelling tools. Our findings highlight the potential of integrating traditional textile techniques with interactive technology and storytelling to create powerful educational experiences outside formal learning environments, en couraging personal reflection and support for environmental issues.
- TapeStory: exploring the storytelling potential of interactive tapestriesPublication . Santos, Laura; Mara Dionisio; Pedro Campos; Dionisio, Mara; Pereira Campos, Pedro Filipe; Quintal Santos, Laura SofiaTraditionally, these tapestries were static artworks hanging on walls without any interaction from the audience. Nevertheless, textiles offer a versatile medium, which can be crafted from various materials and colours and manipulated to produce unique, touch-responsive textures. Our vision is to integrate the tactile capabilities of weaving with capacitive sensor technology to create a media-immersed interactive art installation that explores the negative impact of noise pollution on marine life ecosystems. Marine animals, particularly cetaceans, heavily rely on sound for communication, navigation, and hunting, and noise pollution can disrupt these essential functions. By harnessing the storytelling potential of tapestries and the power of capacitive sensors connected to microcontrollers, we developed a storytelling experience with a unique embodied interface that aims to educate the general audience about pressing issues such as marine noise pollution.
- Interactive tapestry to raise marine noise pollution awareness among teensPublication . Santos, Laura; Pereira Campos, Pedro Filipe; Campos, Pedro; Olim, Sandra Câmara; Dionisio, Mara; Campos, Pedro; Dionisio, Mara; Quintal Santos, Laura SofiaMarine noise pollution is an increasing issue that disrupts ma rine life communication, causes behaviour displacement of habi tats, and threatens marine life ecosystems. Despite adolescents’ general awareness of environmental problems, this issue remains overlooked mainly within the school context. To address this gap, we developed an interactive tapestry that integrates storytelling with capacitive technology, engaging adolescents through touch and auditory features to enhance their understanding of marine noise pollution. An exploratory study showcased promising results, demonstrating the potential of interactive tapestries as effective tools for raising awareness of this issue among adolescents.
- Tapest[o]ry: an interactive tapestry to raise awareness of marine noise pollutionPublication . Santos, Laura; Campos, Pedro; Dionisio, Mara; Quintal Santos, Laura Sofia; Pereira Campos, Pedro Filipe; Campos, Pedro; Dionisio, MaraThrough the years, the tapestry technique has been used for utilitarian purposes and to tell stories. In our artwork, we took inspiration from this ancient craft and the need to reconnect with our senses. This piece invites visitors to touch, feel, and listen. Tapest[o]ry is a living tapestry that listens and responds with a narrative representing the sea’s natural “murmurs” and harmful anthropogenic sounds. The tapestry is turned into an interactive artwork by combining layers of wool, crochet, and felt intertwined with hidden conductive threads. Through storytelling and audience interaction, Tapest[o]ry hopes to awaken empathy for the invisible chaos in our oceans and invite reflection on how we, too, are part of this delicate rhythm.
