Presenting Looming Operations

— a new lecture performance at @berggruendiedo for Palazzo Diedo Opening Week. @berggrueninst

Wed May 6, 17:00 · Venice

Before the Jacquard loom taught binary to humans, silk had already been encoding pattern for millennia. The first computer was a weaving machine; the first program, a thread.

Looming Operations is the first public articulation of the next chapter of Drawing Operations: a three-body regulating loop between human, machine, and silkworm. The silkworm extrudes silk; the brain extrudes signal; the hand extrudes mark. Three bodies inscribing themselves, each producing an interior world — cocoon, drawing, computation — that is both protection and catalyst.

Free admission, no rsvp, limited capacity

Followed by the Strange Rules Mini Marathon (17:30–19:00) with Mat Dryhurst, Holly Herndon, and Hans Ulrich Obrist in conversation with New Models, Joshua Citarella, Agnieszka Kurant, Fabien Giraud, Trevor Paglen, Simon Denny, Ayoung Kim, Primavera De Filippi, Lorenzo Senni, terra0, and Lawrence Abu Hamdan.
