I’ve been looking at the principles of weaving as a systematic approach to manipulating and controling image making.Digital art work involves processes and systems, which are not foreign to the craft world. it would be interesting to exploit these in both still imagery and in video.The images below are taken rom “the art of basketry” a cheap craft book that i bought to to learn finnishes on weaving. A skill that was taght to me by a Thai friend who uses roled paper to make increadible objects.The illustration show the systems of applying 3-rod, and 4-rod wales when weaving. that basically means the number of weavers you use. each creates a different texture.

“The process of digital weaving starts from my own videos wending between dreams and hallucinations, materials and experiences, still or animated images. My tapestries are a visual invitation to explore and savor common places or situations from a different angle. Being digital, they are both decorative patterns and sources of light. Shapes, textures, light and colors are slowly meandering between abstraction and figuration.” The videos presented were made to be played from a projector. In this context, video becomes digital tapestry, a decorative pattern and an ambient light. |

This is an illustration of digital software used to program weaving in fabric.
The manipulation of this image uses the principle of a 3 – rod wale.
