Newsknitter
Live news feed from the Internet that is broadcasted within 24 hours or a particular period is analyzed, filtered and converted into a unique visual pattern for a knitted sweater.
They write:
“News Knitter converts information gathered from the daily political news into clothing. The system consists of two different types of software: whereas one receives the content from live feeds the other converts it into visual patterns, and a fully computerized flat knitting machine produces the final output. Yavuz and Ebru Kurbak, students at Kunstuniversität Linz, have created Newsknitter, a process through which headlines are transformed into beautiful patterns on unique sweaters.
Mahir M. Each product, sweater of News Knitter is an evidence/result of a specific day or period.”
The sweaters will be part of the Ars Electronica festival this week. - [via] Link.
