    Lunchtime viewing of the exhibition Coded Threads at Skissernas Museum

    Skissernas Museum – Museum of Artistic Process and Public Art are happy to welcome all employees at Lund University to join a guided tour through the exhibition, for free.

    The exhibition “Coded Threads” traces threads from the origin of the digital, the woven fabric, into today’s and tomorrow’s digital realities. The thread is coded and acquires meaning – becomes an image, a pattern, a calculation, an algorithm.
