Resumo(s)

Our 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.
