Gendered Entanglements: Feminist Histories of Weaving, Technology, and Women’s Work (2025)
This project explores the material and conceptual intersections of weaving and computation through feminist media praxis. Centring on the act of weaving a tapestry that renders the phrase “women’s work” in binary code—black fibres for 1s, white for 0s—the piece reimagines digital logic through tactile, gendered labour. Using a DIY loom constructed from found materials, the work enacts a methodology of feminist techné, where making becomes a form of critical inquiry. By translating code into textile form, Gendered Entanglements aims to challenge entrenched binaries between art and technology, craft and computation, and foregrounds the embodied skills and overlooked labour that continue to shape our technological present.
