Sherri Lynn Wood - Mod Mood Quilt
We started this class with a fantastic presentation by Barb Hunt about digital textiles. Barb showed many great examples of artists who are working with textiles in a way that references or uses digital media, whether through modular patterns, electronic circuits, or interactive elements. Here are links to some of the artists whose work Barb showed during her presentation:
- Joanna Berzowska and XS Labs
- Barbara Layne
- Lisa Anne Auerbach
- Laura Vickerson
- Karen Trask
- Sherri Lynn Wood
- Barry Ace
- Tara Donovan
- Becky Stern
- Lia Cook
- Joana Vasconcelos
Barb also talked about the Jacquard loom, a mechanical loom invented by Joseph Marie Jacquard in 1801. Because of the way it used punched cards to control its operations, the Jacquard loom was an important precursor to the development of computer programming and hardware.
During this class we also looked at some examples of pixel art, and how to create pixel art in Photoshop. I’ve put up separate posts on this site for each of those things.
