born under thread investigates the relationship between textile-making and computational logic through a network of looms connected to Raspberry Pi microcomputers. Each touch on the conductive yarns generates data that weaves itself into live visual and sonic patterns, approaching computation as an embodied, relational process. At its core, this project aims to pull computation down from the cloud and return it to the collective.
