Intro to Data Weaving

Ashley Jane Lewis

The origin of the algorithms goes back further than the creation of the computer. Heros like Annie Albers and Gertrude Preiswerk were weaving patterns at the Bauhaus akin to computational outputs well into the early 1940’s. Today, with the popularity of data visualization, many modern weavers are incorporating basic code into their practice as a way to embed and encode messages or information into their textiles.
In this beginner friendly workshop, you’ll learn how to work with p5.js to take a simple phrase and turn it binary to create a digital patterns. Then, on a laser cut pocket loom, you’ll learn the basics of weaving in order to translate your data from the screen to the skein. Each participant will leave with a woven data project and their own loom! 
This workshop is presented as a final project for <A HREF="https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__teachingasart.github.io_posts_teachingasartday_&d=DwMFaQ&c=slrrB7dE8n7gBJbeO0g-IQ&r=s8U-k8IzhlY_Te7DoYrGJw&m=wFsCJ6UViOBGeWRb1A3oTu-tD8x_ZaCpqDppKh7si0w&s=dYHjM_uobDpToRoaZuVCB2pAyhglE52HrzOMoCcOipc&e=" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Teaching as Art</A> class at NYU ITP.
