Sensing Patterns invites visitors to hear and feel knitwear patterns through sound vibrations via a wearable audio system. This piece seeks to underline the relationship between the construction of knitted fabric, code and gesture.

​

Harnessing the technological properties of knitting, ‘Sensing Patterns’ looks at how structure can generate distinctive material properties by repeating a sequence of instructions, and how these properties can translate into different sensory outputs.

​

'Sensing Patterns' explores the power of algorithmic thinking, and how natural patterns echoed in ancestral collective practices have influenced the development of contemporary computation.

​

‘Sensing Patterns’ is powered by SubPac, supported by BOM, PlayLa.bZ and B-Side.
