wearing data feeds - News Knitter

RSS feeds make lovely warm jumpers.



Using 24 hours of news data feeds, News Knitter makes the daily political news into a lovely snuggly jumper. One piece of software receives the data and another analyzes the feeds and makes them into different patterns. The final product is then produced on a fully computerized knitting machine.



I think this is a very nice example of how to take the internet off screen. Although some people wouldn't really think of this as a digital product as there's no circuits or programming on the actual finished product, the information used to create the pattern was gleamed from the internet, and software produced the patterns, making the jumper a product of the internet.
