GMU:Computing with Thread/Rachel Smith

Starting kit with homemade Kumihimo boards for knotting and braiding.

Experiments with drawing geometrical shapes using string.

I made a programme in processing which recognises patterns in knots and turns them into morse coded messages. In each box, the first point represents a 'dot' and the second, a 'dash'. The programme responds when a knot touches a point.

First attempt at a processing sketch which starts with lines of random colours and sorts line by line according to redness, using a bubble sort algorithm. Could be used as a braiding technique.
