Algorithmic Textiles Design: Weaving Project

In this project, you will algorithmically create and fabricate a woven design. There are many ways to approach this, from simple image-to-weaving translators (using, e.g., the overshot or double cloth techniques) to fully generative approaches and interactive systems.

The Engineering Part

Write code to create a weaving pattern.

You are strongly encouraged to use our jacquard loom either directly via the Jacq3G library or by passing a file filled with 1's and 0's to its send-picks.py script. If you wish to use your own loom, seek permission of the instructor.

The Artful Part

Consider what concept or idea you wish to convey with your generated weaving pattern (or the entire fabrication experience).
