plusminus (prototype)

pattern generator written specifically for [this loom] at lanificio leo, soveria mannelli, italy. it generates a nearly infinite sequence of patterns that can be weaved as a two-layered jacquard textile, using the absolute simplest formal system that i could think of: a vertical line and a horizontal line. it is aesthetically similar to an older application of mine, but written from scratch taking into account the peculiarities of textile production.

written in max/msp. screenshots below from a 5-minute test run, showing front- and backside. [this] is the view from the rooftop of lanificio leo.
