PiCMAT is a social ritual, during which people with different cultural backgrounds and of different ages gather, learn, share stories, make threads and weave sculptural paintings. Weaving is one of the oldest crafts, belonging to many cultures. Yet instead of traditional materials such as cotton and wool, PiCMAT material is a thread made from unnecessary plastic bags brought by participants.

Everybody is welcome to sit at the loom and to make as many lines as they want, together with someone or on their own. It provides time and space for connecting and experiencing the current moment full-on. PiCMAT is opposing rush, mass production and labour where delivering a product is the essence. During co-creation, the brands on bags dissolve and transform into the abstract tactile painting. This project reflects on the current social environment where the issues of conscious living, sharing, live communicating and communal creating are as urgent as never before. PiCMAT breaks the borders between a maker, a viewer and the work itself.
