As a response to 25 years of cultural deep freeze, the Anti Design Festival will attempt to unlock creative fires and ideas, exploring spaces hitherto deemed out-of-bounds by a purely commercial criteria.

Ladies and gentlemen, pay close attention to your credit cards. On September 20, Ferrofabric will demonstrate that the security of your private financial information is at risk. Using just the simplest of tools - paintbrush, cornstarch, latex, iron filings - we'll instruct you the obscure art and craft of manual magnetic field decoding.

Embracing Technology at the Crafts Council of Ireland gallery

The National Craft Gallery Two showcases the work of fourteen makers who are Embracing Technology. These makers push the boundaries of their craft through the inventive use of materials and technology. Combining hand-crafting with new technologies like laser-cutting, water jet cutting, rapid prototyping, motion capturing, textiles set in concrete, interactive magnetic wall coverings and site-specific textiles for walls and windows, these makers expand the potential of craft and challenge our perceptions with new ways of making dynamic forms.

Ferrofabric will be installed as an interactive space in the gallery. Visitors will be able to play with the magnetic walls to get a sense of the new material.
