rs548049170_1_69869_TT (The Other Shapes of Me), 2020-in progress. Installation composed of a modified Jacquard loom, a textile, a video. Variable dimensions, sound. Edition of 1.
rs548049170_1_69869_TT is a large installation based on the translation of my genetic code into a fabric, through the labour of my mother, using one of the first modern computational machines: the 19th century Jacquard loom. The title refers to the first line of text resulting from the genotyping of my DNA. The final work takes the form of a modified Jacquard loom that incorporates a video of the entire production process and the monumental textile resulting from it. This project is the result of a layered research into the origin and current applications of binary technology: from weaving to programming, algorithms, software, automation processes, up to the complete computerization of a human being.
