I think I’m still on schedule for publishing the ideas I’ve been working on. before I leave for Iran.

On the 16th of March, I went to see Nicola Perren in the Textiles department to discuss carpet making. Nicola was incredibly generous with her time and showed me round a few places in the workshop building. I had a look at hand tufting and the Jacquard Loom.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacquard_loom we had a really good discussion about computation / glitch aesthetics. It turns out she’s a fan of Maedas work! I think we might be able to work on something together.
