Toronto Wearables Meetup 11


Toronto Wearables Meetup Details

 
DateThursday, January 12, 2012 - 12:00am to 2:00am

Location

OCAD U, 205 Richmond St. W., Room 7602

Marisa Ranalli is an electronic textile artist. She focuses on relating interaction with her work to themes of deep sea life, human biology, and light. Marisa’s intimate knowledge of textile processes and construction allows her to integrate electronic components into textiles in an aesthetically pleasing and functional manner. Through design consideration and intricate construction, the electronic components become part of the textile, making the distinction unrecognizable.

Marisa has had her work displayed at the Textile Museum of Canada in an exhibition called 'Super Wired' (2008). She has also shown her explorations in electronic textiles at a solo show titled ‘Siphonophorae’ at the Anna Leonowens Gallery (2010). Marisa is a graduate of the Crafts and Design program at Sheridan College (2009) and the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design (2010), majoring in Textiles at both.
