Cross stitch as pixel art from endfile.
This is about the coolest, nerdiest use of textiles, conceptual thinking and craftwork I've seen in a while. It makes me want to cry that I didn't think of it first, and that is a sign of good stuff. ;) Especially the pun. HOT. (upon reading his CV, this work was also shown in the gallery at SIGGRAPH this past summer.)
The tracert DOS command is used to trace the network points that join one computer with another computer on the Internet. The journey is determined by IP addresses of destinations, and how many milliseconds it takes to reach them. This journey from my PC to the endfile server in America has been hand-stitched, it is a contrast to the idea of traditional narrative samplers.
Mr.endfile has also been doing electronic embroidery which is quite hot too, among many other things. Check out all of his work.
