Crocheted Technology
Nicole Nikolich is a textile artist whose current focus is making crochet artworks that reference old school technology. You can explore her work on her website, at Paradigm Gallery and on Instagram. Some of her artworks are available for sale here.
I’m a sucker for these types of projects because innovations in textile production led to the development of the first computers and the work of artists like Nikolich bring that relationship full circle. See also The Embroidered Computer.

I randomly saw an exhibit of her work back in December 2023 at the Philadelphia International Airport and was floored. I took a bunch of pictures, but never shared them anywhere. Thanks for the reminder!
