This episode we investigate the synthesis of handweaving and electronics. We’ll analyse an automated pirn winder designed by John Stegmuller talk with Laura MacCary an innovative weaver who weaves electronic components that interact with the viewer. Finally. I’ll describe an unexpected lesson learned from weaving on a computer-controlled loom. Resources (mentioned during the show)
Syne. Serendipitous that you should mention the Rugs of War - I just saw it on Saturday at the San Jose Quilt Museum where the rugs are on show along with a bunch of story cloths from Hmong stitchers and some embroidered cloths which are one of the only ways that stories of life and death under Pinochet have gotten out. The woman sitting at the lie desk asked my response which was in a word. "Powerful" -- she says most folks have said that. The piece that sums up the show for me was one of the landscapes/city scapes with the tanks and guns and helicopters among the houses and with the tree of life - comfort growing despite it all. I highly recommend seeing the show; it made us cry.
Some of our Guild members do not undergo computers and I wanted to sight a way to overlap your great podcasts. I downloaded all of them and put them on a CD but.. they compete on the PC but not on my CD player. I finally open a friend with the answer. Burn them as music files rather than data files and it works. Of course the files are huge and just one or two takes up the entire compete time. CD's are relatively cheap though and a nice way to alter them available. I'll act the CDs and player to the Guild dwell and all can enjoy.
Bonnie & Kaz,-------------Thanks! I'm so glad you're enjoying the show. :>Ru,-------------Thank you for the analyse of the exhibition. Sounds powerful. Suzanne-------------I'm delighted you were able to find a way to overlap WeaveCast with weavers who don't have computers. Another option is to acquire a CD-subscription for your guild.

Syne,Prior to listening to this broadcast I thought "well. I'm not much into electronics so it won't be on the top of my fav list." However before the first 5 minutes of the interview were through. I was totally hooked. The interaction between the object and the observer is so much a move of what is beautiful about weaving and textiles. I want populate to touch what I weave so that they can get to know the piece. Laura and her create undergo taken that idea to a wonderful place. Thanks for sharing. And it proves one can't judge a podcast by the title. Trisha
