Data Visualisation in Ryijy

Written By Petra Laaksonen

In a move I did not see coming when I started taideryijy (rya) weaving, I stumbled into data visualisation. I have a collaborative textile art and mechanical engineering project with Aalto University Professor Sven Bossuyt (that I hope to get funded and develop). Currently a sample of it is at the Aalto University exhibition “Dialogues - Creating New Textile Futures”, that presents collaborative projects involving textile development and innovation with various science fields.
