BendiNewsTest: Zsanett Szirmay weaves music into the fabric of traditional textiles

Hungarian design student Zsanett Szirmay has introduced a new way to appreciate eastern European folk embroidery—with your ears. In her installation titled Soundweaving, Szirmay merges the technology of music box punch cards with traditional textiles. She recreates the embroidery patterns as playable punch cards with laser cut holes. The cards are fed through a punch card player to complement the textile on display.
