Press Release

Operate a weaving loom from the future and create your own illuminated textile images in CHAT Arcade! Illumin-Loom is a walk-in interactive experience where visitors can design unique patterns on colourful light strips. The finished creation will be exported as a digital image to download. Visitors can also choose to print the image on heat transfer stickers, and in our 30-Minute Making workshop, iron it onto a special tote. Alternatively, visitors can bring sticker and tote bag home, follow the simple instruction to design their own tote bag.

The light strips of Illumin-Loom simulate the threads in a fabric while alluding to the historical relationship between digital computation and textile technology. Additionally, the library of contemporary motifs and background patterns is inspired by Hong Kong’s textile heritage, paying homage to the history of The Mills as a former spinning factory.
