O radionici:
Pametni tekstili su tkanine razvijene kako bi omogućile besprijekornu integraciju s elektroničkim elementima poput mikrokontrolera, senzora i aktuatora. Nosiva elektronika dobila je mnogo pažnje jer postaje sve dostupnija ne-tehničkoj publici zahvaljujući pristupima otvorenog koda hardveru i softveru te edukaciji. Tijekom radionice sudionici će dobiti praktično iskustvo u izradi mekih senzora korištenjem tekstilnih materijala i vodljivih vlakana te njihovom povezivanju s mikrokontrolerom kako bi istražili njihovo ponašanje i mogućnosti.
Za radionicu se možete prijaviti preko poveznice: https://forms.gle/x1kya1FE2VgHwryP6
do četvrtka, 26. veljače 2026. u podne. Radionica je intergeneracijskog karaktera (djeca, mladi i odrasli), nije potrebno prethodno iskustvo u ručnom radu ili elektronici.
Radionica je besplatna za sve.
O voditeljici:
Zoe Romano magistrirala je filozofiju i medijsku znanost te tehnologiju. Romano je umjetnica, predavačica i konzultantica koja radi na projektima podržanim od strane EU-a koji spajaju društvenu ekologiju, tehnologije digitalne proizvodnje i pametne tkanine. Također, radila je nekoliko godina u strateškom komuniciranju, razvijala je svoje društvene vještine kao medijska haktivistica na području prekarnosti te materijalnog i nematerijalnog rada u kreativnim industrijama. Razvila je svoje vještine u hackerspaceovima i makerspaceovima u Milanu, a dok je radila za tvrtku Arduino, suosnovala je fablab WeMake, fokusiran na modu i dizajn. Aktivirala je razne umjetničke projekte poput Obota (Our bodys our Tech) 2020., Melma Crew 2022., a u posljednje vrijeme voli provoditi vrijeme na umjetničkim rezidencijama i kampovima u Italiji i inozemstvu. Sudjeluje u istraživačkim/aktivističkim inicijativama i razvija projekte vezane uz e-tekstil i digitalnu fabrikaciju u različitim kontekstima.

The eTextiles workshop titled Making Soft Sensors by Italian artist and hacktivist Zoe Romano will take place on Friday, February 27th from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM and on Saturday, February 28th from 3:30 PM to 6:30 PM.
About the workshop:
Smart textiles are fabrics developed to enable seamless integration with electronic elements such as microcontrollers, sensors and actuators. Wearables have received a lot of attention as they become more accessible to non-technical audiences thanks to open source approaches to hardware and software and education. During the workshop, participants will get hands-on experience in making soft sensors using textile materials and conductive fibers and connecting them to a microcontroller to explore their behavior and capabilities.
You can register for the workshop via the link: https://forms.gle/x1kya1FE2VgHwryP6
until Thursday, February 26, 2026 at noon. The workshop is of an intergenerational nature (children, youth and adults), no previous experience in manual work or electronics is required.
The workshop is free for everyone.
About the host:
Zoe Romano has a master’s degree in philosophy and media science and technology. Romano is an artist, lecturer and consultant working on EU-supported projects that combine social ecology, digital manufacturing technologies and smart fabrics. Also, she worked for several years in strategic communication, developing her social skills as a media hacktivist in the field of precariousness and tangible and intangible work in creative industries. She developed her skills in hackerspaces and makerspaces in Milan, and while working for Arduino, she co-founded fablab WeMake, focused on fashion and design. She has activated various art projects such as Obot (Our bodies our Tech) in 2020, Melma Crew in 2022, and lately she likes to spend time at art residencies and camps in Italy and abroad. Participates in research/activist initiatives and develops projects related to e-textiles and digital fabrication in different contexts.
