Rhizome¶
• Following the presentation in December, I took the time to feel my desires for the months to come.
• I wanted to move away from a mercantile approach to go towards a more artistic path. I must then reduce my scope of actions, always around the notion of territory.
• I orient my research towards three processes:
•
• 1- I searched for maps (road, geological, noise pollution, flooding, etc.) around the GreenFabric, and I found interesting open-source data to exploit.
With the Kniterate, I would like to use these databases to present the territory around the GreenFabric in jacquard, and once the machine and software are in place, use the data as a source of code and develop in-depth tests.
• I have already spotted sources like QGIX, OpenstreetView, https://datastore.brussels/web/map

2- I cut the card into squares, in the center, the Greenfabric.
I will source materials to be recycled in each zone by walking and meeting people, merchants, and professionals.
I want to create a biomaterial per area. To facilitate the task and link the territories around us, the square in the center representing the Greenfabric will be 100% textile, then, concentrically, textile + recovery, with decreasing textile concentration.
3- The cards represent many networks that can be exploited in recurring patterns. I want to use the embroidery machine to generate cards. I want to take over the defined areas and exploit their graphic specificities as patterns.

Tip
check out these project concepts pages from Fabricademy participants of previous years.
References projects, research papers, expos, performances etc¶
Previous participants form a large body of work. Get inspired by both the way they documented, did research and went in search for personal values, aesthetics and language. Everything made by anyone can be of reference, any project, research paper, exhibition or showcase, performance, system, service or product.

Tip
Remember to credit/reference all your images to their authors. Open source helps us create change faster toegther, but we all deserve recognition for what we make, design, think, develop.
Moodboard¶
Collect images to give insight in your vision: colors, shapes, sounds, images, words..
Tip
remember to resize and optimize all your images. You will run out of space and the more data, the more servers, the more cooling systems and energy wasted :) make a choice at every image :)
