Did you know that the first computer program was written by a woman and that the design of the first computers was inspired by the Jacquard loom? New media and textile artist Ahree Lee will share her most recent body of work, which explores the interconnections between weaving and computing, and the often overlooked but essential role of women in the development of coding. She will also lead participants in a hands-on weaving activity to experience the material relation between fiber art and computing.
