This project investigates the material experience, particularly the performativity, of an everyday textile-form artefact, namely AnimaTo. We designed AnimaTo to display morphing behaviour when exposed to water over two sequential stages: shrinking and unfolding. Then, we deployed AnimaTo in a two-week longitudinal study, presenting it as an ordinary tea towel and encouraging users to interact as they wished, guided by its evolving shape, size, and texture. We collected in-depth accounts of material experiences from eight households in the Netherlands, combining qualitative and quantitative methods. We collected quantitative and qualitative data via self-reporting, semi-structured interviews and a movement sensor embedded in the artefact. We analysed qualitative data through Thematic Analysis (TA) and qualitative data through summary statistics and visual analysis of the movement data. This dataset includes materials used to conduct the longitudinal field study (participant invitations, instruction cards, interview scripts), additional plots of raw data and a spreadsheet file including codes from the TA of the interviews.
