'System' explores the idea of drawing with an electric current. For the work, conductive materials integrated into textile substrates, simple electronics controlled by timers and heat-sensitive inks were used to create periodic colour-change processes within the 'living' textile membranes. When the current passes through the system, latent images slowly appear and disappear on the surface of the textiles creating fleeting marks.
'System' have first been showed at the 'Skin Stories II - Archaeology of Skin' solo exhibition at the Foreign Art Museum in Riga in 2006.
