Alongside Modern Art Oxford's exhibition with Kiki Smith: I am a Wanderer, featuring her intricate Jacquard tapestries, the Creative Space plays host to a Loom Computer Synthesiser created by Owl Project, allowing you to connect a loom to electronic sound.
Inspired by their 2014 Barnaby Festival commission to create a work for Paradise Mill – one of Macclesfield’s silk museums – Owl Project have created a Loom Computer Synthesiser. It simulates how the jacquard loom used punch cards to make patterned cloth, and explores what happens if you try to connect a jacquard loom to electronic sound-making technology.
Come along to the Creative Space to weave your own patterns and create your own electronic soundtrack using punch cards.
