The exhibition “Coded Threads” at the Museum of Sketches follows threads from the origin of the digital, the web, into today’s and tomorrow’s digital reality. The textile web is the basis of binary coding: the thread can go over or under the warp, be a one or a zero. The thread is coded and takes on meaning, becomes an image, becomes a pattern, becomes a calculation, becomes an algorithm. Everything can become data through the thread in the warp. The exhibition brings together the artists Filipa César (PT), Metahaven (NL) and Amalie Smith (DK) who work with coded threads in their art in completely different ways. All of them allow the artistic process to expand by using self-created or collective systems.
The show is about 30 minutes.
The show is in English.
