Love this. I took apart an old hard drive. The inside is so cool, I’ve had it in my office for years, as art.

Hey @literaturegeek.bsky.social, I feel like this might speak to you. It's not a process work, but it is interesting.

This is so nice… It reminded me of a poster from the ‘80s that I should have kept ☹️ It was advertising an event to do with the the #INMOS #Transputer (www.rs-online.com/designspark/...) and featured a beautiful knitted version of a Transputer in situ. I do so wish that I had kept a copy!

I always thought that this was my idea... I'm glad somebody did it!

This is the most amazing thing I’ve seen in a long time

I can just see you cornering some poor docent, explaining it was hung up backwards! “But you don’t understand… I scrape these things down to the raw transistors for a living!!!” ;-) “I’ll pass that along, sir”

Marilou Schultz also created a weaving "Untitled (Unknown Chip)", 2008. Antoine Bercovici identified it for me as the AMD K6 III processor. These weavings are part of an exhibition "Woven Histories: Textiles and Modern Abstraction". 5/n

You should write the curator and tell them they've hung it backward. That's a major faux pas.

this entire thread is a pure delight! thank you so much for posting it!

Roman fortress in navajo style

This is beautiful, storing at the intersection between the most advanced technology on there planet and an ancient traditional art form.

Amazing

I thought it looked like a load of stacked books. Interesting elision between the two interpretations.

This is incredible! Thanks for posting. (I skim read and went - rug, Navajo, then my right brain went ‘silicon!’ and it took me a moment to realize it was deliberate)

I've seen that somewhere, probably at the Computer History Museum in Mountain View.

Finally a proof that civilizations knew how to build processors thousand years ago

Glorious work! Thank you!

This is so cool. Have you seen Melissa Cody's work? She bases some of it on old school video games. www.momaps1.org/en/programs/...

As a former microelectronic engineer, "microprocessor" was there first word that came to mind when I saw this, before even reading your text! 😅

That is AMAZING!

This textile is gorgeous! Hello computer.

Marilou Schultz is still making technology-inspired Navajo weavings as well as teaching classes on weaving. www.marcadams.com/workshop/nav...

Thank you for sharing this, I love it.

I want a chip rug. If only I knew how to make one.
