As We Wrap It Around Those Woollen Wings

Maya, domus in omni tempestate, Belgium
Textile making and computers share a common history as well as central features in their core approach, for example, binary logic, abstraction of complexity, or a grid approach to solve specific problems.
As We Wrap It Around Those Woollen Wings is a knitted piece of fabric that follows as pattern the DNA sequence of a sheep.
The four bases of a DNA sequence, usually represented by the letters A, C, G, and T are here substituted to four colors, one knot being one base.
The piece is about 20 meters long, but is still a ridiculously small fraction of less than one percent of the whole sequence of the sheep.
Computer programming, as many other technologies, has allowed mankind to reveal invisible things that were already present among our environment and among ourselves.
Pierre Coric
Pierre Coric’s body of work is a weaving of different technical and technological practices. Navigation, computer programming and the making of textile objects are the components of ephemeral installations and performances which, by revealing an offbeat kind of normal, aim at making us rethink our perceptions of the world.
RECODE Online Exhibition
RECODE has admitted a resonance of the culture of the creative coding community as a plural movement of interpretation, reclaim, revisit, and/or resignification of artworks and fundamental practices of early computer graphics and art and its subsequent works through the usage of contemporary media, tools, and technologies.
We invite you to explore how artists, academics, researchers, and practitioners explored and interpreted the notion of recode in their works.
