INTERWOVENNESS is an investigative project led by ideas, material, methodologies, process and epistemologies to inquire on the language of weaving.

The metaphor of interweaving plays a central role in the humanities and social sciences, including science and digitalization research. At the same time, weaving operate in a field of tension between craft, art, and self-actualization. The project explores the potential of this metaphor not only intellectually-conceptually, but also experimentally: How does our thinking about autonomy and heteronomy, the inclusion and presuppositionality of things in infrastructures change through metaphors of interweaving and interwovenness? In a first closed workshop on February 12th, this field of tension will be examined by looking at different weaving and braiding techniques with designer crafts practitioner Evey Kwong.
