Universal Assembly Unit has now disassembled (2013-2020). Special thanks to our collaborators and commissioners who have come with us on our journey over the years. Feel free to get in touch about past projects.
As part of a site-specific project on a 50 metre section of New Bond Street, the studio was commissioned by Foxall Studio to create an artwork for one of the building’s windows. In collaboration with woven textile designer Teresa Georgallis the studio explored a new visual language between textiles and 3D interactive environments.
The final artwork took the form of a virtual avatar which behaved according to your interaction. Following a rich tradition of textiles used as storytelling devices, its form was built up of layers of patterns encoded with the inaudible sound patterns of Bond Street. In October 2015, the installation was exhibited at Fashion Space Gallery as part of Scanned_Networked_Embedded event bringing together practitioners working across design, science and technology to investigate possible human and material futures.
