Bushwick Rave Culture Edition
Chapter 01
Arrival
[First impressions of the place. The quality of light, the rhythm of movement, the particular way sound travels here. What did you notice in the first 24 hours? What surprised you?]
[Specific sensory details: the temperature at dawn, the smell after rain, the texture of local materials, the cadence of language.]
Color Archaeology
Description of how colors were collected. Morning walks, market visits, architectural studies. Which colors repeat? Which are unique to this place?
Colors extracted from sunrise over the harbor, the weathered walls of old buildings, traditional textiles at the morning market
Pattern Studies
Description of local patterns found in architecture, textiles, nature. How do these translate to computational weaving?
Node Network
Emphasizes thread intersections with varied node elements
Flowing Grid
Grid-based structure with organic curve variations and flowing lines
Sine Wave Weave
Multiple overlapping sine waves creating complex interference patterns
Sound-derived
Density Fields
Regional density variations creating organic texture fields
Organic Flow
Flowing sine wave threads with organic intersections and variable density
Pattern Studies
Description of local patterns found in architecture, textiles, nature. How do these translate to computational weaving?
Traditional
Classic weaving patterns rooted in cultural heritage and traditional craftsmanship.
Architectural
Geometric patterns inspired by architectural elements and structural design principles.
Natural
Organic patterns derived from natural forms, textures, and biological structures.
Sound-derived
Patterns generated from audio waveforms and sound visualization techniques.
Computational
Algorithmically generated patterns using mathematical functions and code.
Hybrid
Fusion patterns combining multiple approaches and methodologies.
