Within the scope of the Performative Geometries workshop, students of the Aristotle University Thessaloniki developed individual spatial strategies by analysing textile techniques and their underlying geometrical spatial appearance. Through abstraction and by geometric filtering principles, newly composed material systems were developed. Due to their resulting elasticity these constructs are open for change and alteration by the human body that are at the same time dynamic in time and space, rejecting static conditions by enabling communication between their own space and that of their users. The intervention of the spectator reaches a new quality: spatial empathy is not only achieved by the visual sense, but by touch - the interaction of the body with the material. Colour throughout
