- Future Sketches
Rooted in textiles, performance, and installation, Chloe Bensahel’s work addresses the relationship between narrative and material, text, and textile. Since 2019, Bensahel has been developing interactive tapestry work using ancient textile techniques that can be programmed with conductive elements. Previous projects include collaborations with Google Arts and Culture Foundation, The Cooper Hewitt, Design Museum, Smithsonian National Museum of American History, and Palais de Tokyo. She was awarded a 2024 MIT CAST visiting artist residency with Future Sketches, supported by Villa Albertine and the Bettencourt Schueller Foundation to research magnetic core memory, a technology woven in the 1960s by textile factory workers for the NASA space missions.
