07/2025 — FEEDBACK LOOPS
The Jacquard Loom, which used punch cards to encode designs into intricate woven fabrics, stands as an early example of programmatic thinking in the arts and crafts. Much like the printing press, the Jacquard Loom revolutionized textiles by introducing a semi-automated method of production. Often considered one of the first "computers" due to its binary-coded punch card system, the Jacquard Loom bridged the worlds of art and technology, establishing an interdisciplinary foundation that continues to evolve today in fields such as artificial intelligence, nanotechnology, and genetics.
Through our exhibition Feedback Loops, we aim to explore the diverse ways in which artists engage with the intersection of art and technology. The show will delve into the broader implications of this relationship, touching on themes such as labor, automation, consciousness, craft, and authorship.
If you have work related to this theme that you would like to share, please contact us at contact@envelope.services.
