As the director of Studio subTela and a member of the Hexagram Institute's Responsive Textiles research group, Barbara Layne works at the intersection of textile arts and technology, creating handwoven fabrics with embedded electronic components.

Her work is shown internationally through galleries, museums and techno-fashion events.
