Kniterature explores how we can feel the rhythm of a text, not just read it.
We translated language into tangible knitting patterns, moving beyond traditional repetition. Custom software analyzes linguistic elements, like parts of speech, assigning them unique stitches. The result is fabric that embodies the distinct 'linguistic signature' of each text – a wearable meta-analysis. This was showcased at the 'USE-LESS' exhibition, where visitors could experience and generate their own text-driven patterns.
And you can try it out here.
