craft hackers discussion

craft hackers is a panel discussion among artists who use crafting techniques to explore high-tech culture and the relationship between needlework and computer programming. panelists include cat mazza, who translates moving images into stills knit in yarn; christy matson, who uses jacquard looms (some of the earliest computers) to knit landscape images from computer games; ben fino-radin, whose witty needlepoint sculptures translate the world wide web into yarn and plastic, one pixel at a time; and cody trepte, whose embroidery of retired computer punch cards rekindles an old-fashioned love affair with the hand of the artist.
