圍群 MONUMENT of APRON

提花織也沒有什麼新的東西，提花機是最老的電腦，一個機械電腦。從我一個織布者的角度講，它是一個帶有符號性的活動——我們這裡 利用技術來恢復家庭手工業，讓大家從新知道在自己家裡製作/製做 的經驗。

I think there's nothing new about jacquard weaving, it's the oldest computer, a mechanical computer. It's kind of this symbolic act to me as a weaver, of using technology to bring back cottage industry and reacquaint people with the act of making in their own homes.

The ability to self-actualize for women is mediated now by the garment industry, and for me that was always uncomfortable. They really affected the way women see their own bodies, and I think the act of actually weaving fabric and knowing your body enough to be able to clothe it is a kind of meditation on your own body without judgement.

藝術家Pamela Liou通過簡單技術要探索和改變我們對於衣服的看法。 她創造的台式開放源代碼織布機可以促進家庭手工業，讓織布工自治 他們的產品。

Pamela Liou is exploring how simple technology could change the way we relate to our clothes. By building an open-source desktop loom, she wants to build a cottage industry of weavers who have control over the products they use.
