Textile Transmissions and Translations is a research project that will take advantage of the ability of fabric to impart meaning through material and electronic languages, by combining a creative approach to the textile arts with technical innovations in circuitry and wireless transmissions; exploring ubiquitous computing, mobility and interactivity through the introduction of electronic devices into fabric structures; creating animated displays on the surface of cloth, in order to extend the dynamic, narrative abilities of cloth and developing a transitional space in which meanings are altered and textiles are invigorated into new patterns of discovery.

Jefferies is Associate Research Fellow with Hexagram (Institute of Media, Arts and Technologies, Montreal, Canada) on two funded projects, 'Narrative: Textiles Transmission and Translations' (2004-7) and 'Wearable Absence' (2006).
