German Textile Artist
About Hans Kluge
In 2017, Hans Kluge dismantled a decommissioned Dornier GTM 3000 industrial loom in his Leipzig studio, not to restore it, but to rewire its pneumatic shuttle system with Arduino-controlled solenoids, enabling real-time tension modulation based on ambient sound frequencies. This led to the 'Resonance Weaves' series: tapestries where polyester-nylon hybrids shift optical density as gallery noise fluctuates, turning acoustic space into tactile topography. His 2022 solo exhibition at Museum der bildenden Künste featured a wall-sized textile grown from electrospun polyacrylonitrile nanofibers layered over hand-braided carbon filament, materially unstable by design, visibly degrading under UV light over six weeks. Kluge rejects the romantic notion of textile 'warmth', instead treating synthetic fiber as a site of ethical friction: every dye bath is documented via blockchain ledger, and his loom’s firmware is open-sourced under a license requiring users to disclose energy source origin. He doesn’t weave cloth, he engineers perceptual thresholds.
