Weaving is both a craft and a cybernetic system—one that encodes patterns, stories, and connections into material and digital forms. Inspired by philosopher and cultural theorist Sadie Plant’s reflections on weaving, cybernetics, and feminism, and guided by Nicole Frei’s experimental approach, this lab invites participants to engage with weaving both practically and conceptually.
Through hands-on experimentation with simple weaving tools (paper, string, wire), participants will explore the intersections of craft, technology, and storytelling. The session includes discussions on weaving as a method of world-making, digital entanglement, and temporal resistance. By creating and reflecting on their woven pieces, participants will investigate how weaving functions as a language—one that bridges analog and digital, human and machine, tradition and speculation. The session culminates in a collective digital tapestry, capturing the threads of individual insights and shared connections.
