A Table Weaving is a collaborative project that creates space to make sense of and meditate upon the energy and physical infrastructures required to power the “cloud”. Community members were invited to join the space and encode data into cloth via weaving while listening to an ambisonic soundscape. The event ended with a public celebration where we invited audience members to join us in finishing and unveiling the tapestries created during the community weaving for discussion. Community members were invited to follow lift plans that specified the number of repeats based on the values in the data set. Participants came though the space for 2 days and spend about a hour on the looms translating the patterns into cloth. At the final closing event, we cut off and revealed the cloth.
