The DXARTS SoftLab is a studio and an online platform whose mission is to examine the role of workmanship in artistic research, to redefine the use of crafting in the post-digital era, and to explore the body as an interface of control and resistance. It is part of the Department of Digital Arts and Experimental Media (DXARTS) at the University of Washington in Seattle.

This is an on-going experiment with fabrics in which I am curious to examine the possibility of recording on conductive fabric.

My idea for this project is to record stories of the Iranian queer community and sew a garment with the recorded fabric of each person's story for that person as a visceral way of creating a dataset and protect it.
