Temporary/permanent errors showing the machine’s hidden structures, making the normally invisible operations visible. A window into the machinery of computing.

Knitted glitch
Repetition – front vs back
Using the computer in a way it isn’t intended – as a tool to create unpredictability and error

These knitted pieces are a counter movement to everything being made perfectly, predictably and identically when created using a machine.
The computer can create unpredictable mistakes, like the hand, but it is limited
For me, the beauty arises when the imperfections of the hand’s touch becomes visible
