Web(log) is a woven visualisation of data drawn from my dad’s Blogspot account. Falling midway between philosophical essays and diary entries, his blog posts appear more quickly than most readers, myself included, can keep up with. By translating his blog’s data into a woven structure, I looked for a way to reciprocate his textual gestures through my own medium.

The work also builds on the deep historical connections between computing and weaving; connections that are echoed in the word web. Besides a digital network, web can also refer to “a fabric on a loom or in the process of being removed from a loom” (Merriam-Webster).

about

Textile artist, researcher, and writer based in Amsterdam. I work with textiles and other material forms as a way of thinking and researching. I thereby treat these materials as tools to expose and unsettle taken-for-granted views and naturalized routines of daily life.
