SUMMARY:FUNKEN Night #10 - Fluffy Experiments
DESCRIPTION:Chemnitz can look back on a long and traditional history of te
 xtile processing. The tenth FUNKEN Night will pose the question: What role
  does the creative and research-based use of textiles play in today's mate
 rials research? Elke Thiele from the Saxon Textile Research Institute (STF
 I) will be invited to answer this question. She will provide insights into
  the significance of artistic positions in the field of applied research i
 n Chemnitz. We will also welcome designer Svenja Lühr\, who will present 
 her work and research on elastic fabric structures made from bioplastics.\
 n\nPROGRAMME:\nFrom 17:00 - Open Doors\n17:30 - Keynote speech by Dipl.-In
 g. Elke Thiele\nAs part of the Textile LAB\, Dipl.-Ing. Elke Thiele suppor
 ts and accompanies professional creative actors with her specialist expert
 ise and gives them access to the diverse textile technologies that the Sax
 on Textile Research Institute (STFI) has to offer. She is a familiar face 
 at the FUNKEN Academy. The STFI is a non-profit research institute in Chem
 nitz that deals with issues of textile sustainability and works on resourc
 e-efficient\, energy-optimised processes - particularly in the fields of t
 echnical textiles\, lightweight textile construction\, functionalisation\,
  digitalisation and recycling.\n\n18:00 - Keynote speech by Svenja Lühr.\
 nSvenja Lühr is a textile designer with a background in fashion and costu
 me design. Her work operates at the intersection of textiles\, art and cra
 ft\, focussing on material research\, sustainability and experimental surf
 aces. She specialises in weaving - from jacquard and dobby weaves to compl
 ex weaves and expressive materials. In addition to working on the hand loo
 m\, which allows her to get close to the material\, she explores the poten
 tial of bioplastics\, which she produces herself and combines with textile
  structures. In her lecture\, she will provide insights into her experimen
 tal projects with bioplastics\, which explore haptic\, three-dimensional s
 urface structures and recyclable material concepts.
