This hanging scroll is made of fabric incorporating threads capable of changing from black to pink when the temperature reaches 31°C or higher, as well as unique foil threads that display interference colors through retroreflective properties.
The back of the scroll is equipped with a heater, which, when controlled by a computer program, causes the fabric’s color to change over time.
Additionally, when the incident light and the observer’s position are in very close proximity, the foil threads display interference colors.
The patterns were generated from an algorithm that incorporates past environmental data.
The Japanese term “Jiku” refers to the dimension of time and space alongside the scroll, and it intricately portrays multiple aspects of the evolving environment influenced by changes in time and space surrounding the fabric.
