Algorithms and Doilies: not just another pretty lace
add to outlook add to google calendar remind me
The most sophisticated textiles are not found at NASA or CERN. They are found sitting on your grandmother's coffee table. The 500 year old fibre art of lace creates complex, open, yet structurally sound fabrics using simple techniques.
We have modeled this art form using modern mathematical theory and then, using computer search algorithms, generated over 100,000 new designs. Join Veronika Irvine, computer science PhD candidate, to learn how lace is being used to drive design innovation, take in a display of fascinating samples and participate in making a large scale, original art piece.
