For this project I got inspired by the book I am reading Zero and One from Saddie Plant. It talks about various subjects present in my research. For instance the role of women in computering. I am looking for different ways to encode messages with textiles. Texiles are one of the first expressions of code. It is also what got me interested about coding.

I first made paper examples of zeros and ones. I had to see how they could fit together, as the shape of the "1" was not regular, but "0" is.
I had a look at the https://oscircularfashion.com/catalogue/all website to see ways of attaching different shapes together.

The corner attach seemed the most appropriate to hide it the most easily in the corner of the numbers.
Then I had to find a way to be able to detach the number and attach them differently.

I had to make them by shaping them on illustrator fisrt. Some parts were not perfectly repeated and when I did the test, laser cutting them through passing them in Inskape and then the laser cut program.
We had to find the good speed of laser cut because the blue fabric I was using was not in the software.
I was using blue Suede fabric for the "ones" and black Neoprene for the "zeros".

I was not used to use Rhino yet but I learnt new technics thanks to my local tutor Diane.
