Hyperthread explores the aesthetics of parametric chip design through the lens of the Jacquard Loom. It is based on public domain microchips and emulators that perform different functions such as a cryptographic key generator, a general purpose CPU or a simple flipflop (the fundamental building blocks of a microchip).
LOOM is an expansive light and sound installation comprised of phosphorescent threads that orchestrate a score of light, sound and darkness. A sequence of ONs and OFFs are spun into a network of data, with each luminous point defining the location of a virtual particle.
A 2,000 lb machine that uses 6,400 mechanical spools of thread to display Instagrams is the latest project by NY based collaborative BREAKFAST. The team are streaming live online 24 hours a day from July 22-28th, and users receive an auto-edited video of their Instagrams being displayed on the screen.
