SUMMARY:Vernissage Coded Threads
DESCRIPTION:Contact: katarina.lilliequist@skissernasmuseum.lu.se\n\n“The 
 first computer was a loom. Weavers were the first programmers\, and textil
 e the fabric of the digital” Amalie SmithThe exhibition "Coded Threads" 
 traces threads from the origin of the digital\, the woven fabric\, into to
 day’s and tomorrow’s digital realities. The loom is the basis of binar
 y coding: the thread can go over or under the warp\, be a one or a zero. T
 he thread is coded and acquires meaning – becomes an image\, a pattern\,
  a calculation\, an algorithm. Everything can become data through the thre
 ad in the warp.The exhibition brings together three artists who work with 
 coded threads in their art in distinct ways. All artists allow the artisti
 c process to expand through self-generating or collective systems.Amalie S
 mith shows a suggestive installation with digitally dreamed images. Filipa
  César follows the intercontinental slave trade and the historical routes
  of the textile industry. In its wake\, she finds woven threads that are c
 oded with resistance. The art group&nbsp\;Metahaven’s jacquard-woven tex
 tile works\, produced on contemporary computerized looms\, can be read as 
 fictional maps or systems of thought. For this exhibition\, they have crea
 ted a new work consisting of two parallel weavings alongside moving images
 . The piece builds on sketches from the museum’s collection.Several olde
 r works from the collection also find their place in the exhibition\, form
 ing an inner&nbsp\;processing room\, a memory center with possible connect
 ions that branch out into the contemporary parts of the exhibition.Free ad
