The Electronic Table Cloth was created to allow guests at a fundraising event to playfully communicate personal information by touching the tablecloth. Each tablecloth contains a decorative embroidered tag-reader and a decorative embroidered keypad. At the event these electronic textiles were connected to a large computer and data base. Today, these textiles are inactive wall pieces. A series of 6 tablecloths exists.
