Patterned Language
Patterned Language is a collaborative project between textile artists, poets, and writers. The process started from a set of instructions, which generated patterns and drove the creation of poems. The patterns and poems were then materialized with machine knitting techniques and a typewriter. When the knitted fabrics are touched, the projection of the poems will show in the form of a digital knit. This is a collaboration project with Karli Zhao (RISD D+M 24'), More info can be found here: https://theunthoughts.com/patterned_language
As the audience stretches the knit, the projected pattern shifts in response, creating an interactive experienceÂ
