Tabletop of LED flowers

While we’re talking inspiration from London, let’s talk G. Hack, a collective of female researchers within the School of Electronic Engineering and Computer Science at Queen Mary, University of London. These fierce women get together to create some seriously awesome interactive media projects. One of these projects, Threads and Yarns, is a table covered with flowers made out of wires. At the press of a button, flowers light up and play curated, crowd-sourced stories about healthcare.

Flowers and lights looking fantastic

The guts of the exhibit...so many wires!

The G. Hack project has been traveling all over the UK, and who knows where they’ll go next! (Please come to Atlanta! Hint hint!)
