For his graduate show, RCA student Yen Chen Chang proposes using material and textiles to challenge how we think about our electronic devices. The yarn of his Knitted Sensors project is made up of 80% polyester and 20% stainless steel, (the fabric that's often used for touch screen gloves), and when connected to electronics, lets the user to control their devices with squeezes, tugs and strokes. Weaving conductive yarns and sensors into fabric brings a modern twist to an age-old material and suggests we change how we think about our physical devices.

For his graduate show Chang has built three devices for the home: The Squeezy Juicer, a large knitted orange ball which, when squeezed, powers an orange juicer. The Touch Of Breeze is a faux grass carpet consisting of conductive yarns which can be stroked to control a fan, and finally the Tension Lamp, that features a woven rope that acts like a dimmer switch, controlling the brightness off the bulb based on how much it's pulled.
