Radiant Fibers was a traveling group exhibition showcasing works by artists who merge traditional textile arts with modern, digital, and electronic technologies. The show included immersive installations, interactive objects and a variety of small works that highlight the depth of “eTextiles” from material and crafts community points of view.

Curated by Craftwork and showcased at San Jose State University in 2024 and New York University In 2025, this exhibit delved into the artistic interplay of eTextiles and light, exploring how visual narratives unfold through the fusion of circuitry and textiles. Drawing upon the realms of traditional craft and experimental technology, Radiant Fibers showcases a breath of work including large scale installations to small-scale swatches. The artists showcased are alumni of electronic textile camp, an artist-run residency for creative practitioners working at the intersection of craft, computation, textiles, and electronics.
