CFL@Ars Electronica Festival 2025
Hauptplatz 6, Lichthof West, 4020 Linz, Austria
For the fifth time, we are opening our lab to the public as part of the Ars Electronica Festival. Visitors are invited to explore evolving processes, conversations, and collaborations that shape our work in crafting practices that hold space for new narratives, educational approaches, and connected artifacts to evolve. Installations, prototypes, and annotated experiments offer insight into ongoing inquiries and encourage engagement with research and researchers.

(Ex)Sample Making
Electromagnetic-Driven Movement in Textiles
Irene Posch
A workshop exploring the concept of programmable movement in textiles. We offer a platform to investigate how textiles respond to electromagnetic forces, serving as a starting point for personal exploration and discussion of the material’s visual, physical, and functional qualities. Participants will also consider how these properties can create space for new narratives, educational approaches, and interconnected artifacts to emerge.

Radical Crafting Salon
Anna Blumenkranz with Verena Fuchsberger-Staufer, Lisa Hofer, Katrin Kober
We are hosting a radical crafting salon as a conversational space for a collaborative stitch action. In this session, we welcome everyone to join a round table with invited scholars and e-textile practitioners in a cooperative, subversive, and anti-efficient stitch action, to mess with words, yarns, and sparks. Come and take your electric needle for a walk!

Crafting Futures Aperitif:
Edible Traces – A Sensory Encounter
with Julia Moser and Monja Hirscher
Edible Traces invites you to explore the hidden connections between food and colour. In this sensory food happening, we offer a series of small bites and drinks whose preparation leaves behind richly pigmented traces – peels, skins, soaking waters, and other organic remnants –that hold potential for natural dyeing.
Beyond tasting, you can look forward to interactive moments of exploring colours, and are invited to reflect on how these subtle leftovers can become part of circular making processes that honour transformation, care, and multisensory experience.
