Textiles Conference of America to see Emergent Digital Patterns

Sydney artist, Gail Kenning, presented examples of her experimental digital patterns to the Textiles Conference of America conference in Hawaii September 25 2008. As part of her PhD research, Kenning took traditional patterns from crochet lace and algorithmically explored how the patterns could be evolved to form new shapes. The result is a kaleidoscope of different coloured patterns, some of which dissolve into chaos, while others mutate into interesting new shapes. (See Digital Art for sample of Gail Kenning's work.)
