Richard Vijgen's project Hyperthread intriguingly connects microchip design with textile weaving, showcasing how both fields employ a shared binary logic that facilitates complex structures.
The Jacquard Loom, which revolutionized weaving through its punchcard system, serves as a historical parallel to microchip circuits, demonstrating a deep link between textile technology and computing.
Hyperthread transforms microchip designs into large-scale woven tapestries, effectively conveying the intricate visual complexity inherent in microchips by using open-source software to translate binary code.
While the intricate tapestries produced in Hyperthread are not intended to be human-readable, they offer a new artistic perspective on the complexity and beauty of technological designs.
