  1. Low Resolution &Machine Knitting Unravel the Code 2014 Beam 2014

  2. PPT • http://contrechoc.com/unravel/Low_Resolution_Unravel_the_Code.ppt

  3. Patterns for Machine Knitting • What is knitting? • Must be two colors • Must be low resolution 100 x 60 pixels

  4. Program Tuesday • Low resolution • Image • Font => numbers/text • Processing patterns • interference • Cellular Automaton • Patterns • Regular patterns • Irregular patterns -> hidden codes

  5. Program Thursday • Textile workshop 13:00 – 15:30 • Knitting on Brother KH-940 • Knitting particulars • A knitted pixel is a “V”, 2x2 “V” can be a square • Colors, Threads, combinations • Laptop screen is not knitted surface! • Experimenting!

  6. PREP: For next workshop – in 2 weeks • Idea: make a t-shirt capacitive sensor • Needed: simple for back part • Some simple continous graphical, monumental design shapes • Prepare screens next week: • Make a collective appointment with Publication station • Tuesday: technology Thursday printing testing

  7. Back to 8 x 8 – black & white

  8. numbers

  9. Low resolution Fonts

  10. Suddenly: Design low resolution • Displays, interfaces

  11. Photoshop • CMD N – new file • 8 x 8 pixels • Enlarge enlarge enlarge • Pencil tool • draw • CMD I => rescale to …eg 40x40 • Result: terrible!!!!!

  12. Rescale setting : Nearest Neighbor

  13. First Practice • Make 8 x 8 images, draw or Photoshop • Make 8 x 8 numbers • Make 8 x 8 text (in a bigger image 40 x 40) • Short Political statement • Texel = Krim! Student lib! • Combine in “bigger” image

  14. Processing • Processing.org, download, install • Examples • LoadDisplayImage

  15. Prepared example files for patterns • http://www.openprocessing.org/sketch/159676 • http://www.openprocessing.org/sketch/159677 • http://www.openprocessing.org/sketch/159716

  16. Practice 2 • Play around with these sketches, using your own images.

  17. Interference • Photoshop image small, 8x8 • Rescale => 80x80 • New layer • Paint bucket – pattern (make b&w patterns) • Play around with interference patterns

  18. Why interference? • Because of the Nordic knitting • Avoid wires which are too long at the backside • But also because it is “fun”

  19. Complex Patterns and codes

  20. Cellular Automatons • A few black and white pixels: starting line • Rules to advance in “time”, next lines • http://tutorials.siam.org/dsweb/catutorial/ • JAVA has to be running

  21. If JAVA does not run on MACOS • Go to System Preferences • System -> JAVA • Edit trusted websites • http://shellzero.wordpress.com/2014/01/24/how-to-fix-application-blocked-by-security-settings-mac-os-x/

  22. Explore the Tutorial!

  23. Regular structures

  24. (for a designer): chaotic structures

  25. Assignments • Experiment with low resolution • Images • Text: political statement? • Patterns and codes • Combinations of everything • Your own experiments • Prepare 80x80 B&W images for Thursday
