An extra-special session that will bring our recent themes, with Peruvian artist Paola Torres Núñez del Prado introducing us to Andean informatics through textiles and sound. Paola is an e-textile and sound artist, who integrates electronic sensors into their handmade textiles, including in Khipu (ancient Andean practice of recording data in knotted structures) as well as weaving.
Paola will talk us through some of her works, with some focus on patterns that run through Andean culture. She’ll bring some of her e-textiles and share a live performance with us.
