Halton knew she couldn’t let it end up in landfill.”“The loom was the only one of its kind in the southern hemisphere, and one of only a handful in the world, bought for the university’s <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/Brunswick" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Brunswick</a> campus in the early 2000s, soon after Halton started teaching there. It “elevated what you could do as an artist”, she says. Students enrolled just to have access to it. International artists visited especially to weave on it. It became integral to Halton’s creative practice.”“Watt has “a very special affinity” with the loom. It isn’t just the time she spent working on it at RMIT, or that it sat in her home for months after it was rescued. She’s also been using her coding skills – self-taught – to update its electronics.

Séléné mweziLes encours du moment : 1) la semaine dernière, je n'avais pas trop le moral alors quand j'ai vu cette pelote DMC <a href="https://piaille.fr/tags/ArcEnCiel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ArcEnCiel</a> j'ai craqué... depuis j'ai envie de tricoter un chale avec des gouttes. J'ai associé ma pelote à un bleu canard en alpaga tout doux (couleur et douceur, un bon remède contre la tristesse) j'écris la recette en même temps que je bidouille. Je partagerai si c'est concluant. 2) le corps du pull <a href="https://piaille.fr/tags/totoro" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#totoro</a> est fini.

Brad LinderOne of Google's weirder projects in recent years was Project Jacquard, which enabled weaving of electronic sensors into fabric so your clothes could control your phone or other gadgets.
