Digital Weaving to Change the World

Ratio is a project between artist & educator Poppy DeltaDawn, publisher & production bindery For The Birds Trapped In Airports, graphic designer Katie (Williams) Leonard, and weaving studio LMRM. This tool book is both a love letter to artists working on the TC2 digital jacquard loom, as well as to the long lineage of weaving and loom technology. Intermingled with personal essays, historical accounts, and instructional manuals for digital loom file-design, Ratio considers the broader implications of creating cloth and why it matters to our agency, autonomy, and freedom.
