Born in 1986, Malin Bobeck Tadaa is a textile artist based in Stockholm, Sweden, whose work blends traditional techniques with interactive technology. She trained in textile design at the Swedish School of Textiles in Borås, completing a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in 2014 after several years of study in textile-related fields. Her artistic practice revolves around smart textiles: she weaves LEDs, sensors, and electronics into fabrics to create pieces that can not only be seen, but also felt, touched, and activated to bring about change. Optical fibers allow the works to respond to touch, alter their colors, and generate immersive environments. Her inspiration comes from the invisible universe: the fantasy of deep space, life under the sea, the hidden dimensions that we barely perceive. Among her most notable projects is Emerging Sensation (2019), an interactive installation combining touch-sensitive textiles and augmented reality, presented in the old R1 reactor hall beneath the KTH campus in Stockholm, which attracted more than 4,000 visitors and was supported by The Swedish Arts Grants Committee. She has also created works such as Tactile Refuge (2017), where six illuminated fabric wings are activated by touch, and Imbued With Awe (2022), a piece with optical fabric connected via Wi-Fi to blockchain, combining textile tradition with contemporary rituals. Malin has been awarded several grants, including the Sten A. Olsson Foundation's “Encouragement of Research” grant (2015), and has exhibited at institutions such as the Nationalmuseum Design, Gothenburg Art Museum, and Borås Textile Museum, as well as participating in textile performance and light sculpture projects in Taiwan, Mexico, and other countries. Her work creates sensitive and relational spaces: it invites the viewer to interact, to break out of passivity, and transforms the perception of textiles from something static into something tactile, animated, luminous, and participatory.

Imbued with Love is the first piece in the Imbued collection. It honors passionate love, infatuation, the kind of love you project onto others. The pattern is based on a knitting made by Malin's mother, for her granddaughter. The 99 photographic NFTs invite their owners to a Love meditation, where they get to dedicate their love, through words on the blockchain. The physical art piece uses these words of love to generate the patterns flowing through the fabric. Can the blockchain be used to store emotions? Each owner of an Imbued artwork, along with 99 NFT holders, may imbue the art with their own interpretation of love, which will be permanently stored on the blockchain. From there it will affect the visual appearance of the artwork, not only for the current owner, but for every owner thereafter. Digital and physical threads create timeless tokens of emotion, from the memories of each caretaker.
