Tablet weaving is a perfect way to explore how people have been manipulating digital information for thousands of years. We spent a few days mass producing 25 sets of warps, tablets and shuttles out of cardboard and yarn and dispatched them to Barcelona (via Lizzy Wilson) and Sheffield as part of a remote/hybrid/three location workshop on algorithmic pattern for the on_the_fly_collect(_) festival. This blog post reports on the basis and outcome of this workshop.
