How do patterned sound and threads allow us to sense the abstract and conceptualise the tactile?

A diverse panel talk about their work as weavers, knitters, live coders, dyadic mathematicians, generative musicians and digital makers. We will look for a rich view of technology as a meeting point of craft, culture and live experience.

The invited speakers will explore their own practice of making, process, language, material and output, providing a view of technology as a meeting point of craft, culture and live experience.

The discussion will be lead by Professor Janis Jefferies (Goldsmiths), Bronac Ferran and David Toop. Practitioners include Alessandro Altavilla, Felicity Ford, Berit Greinke, Ellen Harlizius-Klück, Alex McLean and Becky Stewart.

There will be audio-visual interludes through the day, including a screening of Ismini Samanidou and Scanner’s film Weave Waves and a short performance by Felicity Ford. The event will close with a live music performance from Leafcutter John, Matthew Yee-King and Alex McLean, exploring code, pattern and sound.

Curated by Karen Gaskill, Crafts Council. A collaboration between the Craft Council, ICSRiM (School of Music, University of Leeds), the Thursday Club (Goldsmiths), V&A Digital Futures and the Live Coding Research Network.

Made possible through funding and support by the Craft Council, Sound and Music, the Arts and Humanities Research Council and the Centre for Creative Collaboration.
These events are co-produced with Sound and Music as part of the 2014/15 Composer Curator programme.
