‘The fluid fabric is composed of simple materials: polyethylene tubing to circulate fluid and transparent fishing wire for structure. The tubing allows for flexibility as well, as it contains a void for fluid to pass through the fabric. To animate this fabric, a mechanical heart (two small pumps) supplies the fabric with fluid and air. When this occurs, the fabric animates the coloured water and air into dynamic patterns and temporal colour gradients‘  from the World of Threads Festival site /
