and<br \/>&#8211; How can this encounter rethink of the grid as an affective topology?<\/p><p>I started making video essays to answer these questions: using my phone as an extension of my subconscious\/conscious\/body, no tripod, no props a material witness: I bang my head on the wall using an energy absorbing engineered material, unruly atoms in motion enable a visceral, embodied and literal enaction of language to take place, trauma performed and yet deferred, this is not a Marina Abramovich moment, instead it is a moment that looks at engineered structures as an active rethinking of how technological environments could support enactments of plurality and emergence. the encounter here is one of cognitive dissonance, \u201ctrying things out\u201d to see how the world responds and where a truly adaptive system emerges.<\/p><p>I wanted to further explore this performative experimentation, and the role of the unconscious, the looping dance of agency, diving into the material theater \u2013 a leap: I had a dream, terribly precise, the outfit exact, the sky bright and deep, dark and menacing, taking place at the beach where I spent countless summers as a child: I reenact the dream EXACTLY in a single take \u2013 joy, playfulness, surrender, despair, immersed into matter, a different kind of looping takes place here, a different kind of weave this time, and of unruliness &#8211; whose?<\/p><p>I sought to bring these notions of adaptivity, play, convergence and indecipherability \u2013 or of meaning being deferred, back to the loom, this time by creating a responsive material that sits close to the body: back on the loom the tautness of the wrap is traversed by new materials on the weft: conductive yarns, cut-resistant ones, reflective ones (also referred to as high performance yarns).<\/p><p>I connect the conductive yarns to custom-made electronics and an Arduino that runs a machine learning model using Tensor Flow (an open source library for machine learning), with the aim of developing a type of \u201cconversation\u201d between human and machine, training the model to respond to a set of gestures by heating up different sections of the fabric and in varied attenuations &#8211; from a pleasant warm tingle to an almost aggressive painful heat sensation.<\/p><p>While the affective relationship between a computational material and the human skin that emerges is primary to the experimentation in the practice, it is in the process of making this complex and novel structure that important questions emerge, questions that magnify the divergence between the human &amp; machine ontology and epistemology, and an attempt to foreground a performative ontology between the two that frames the second research question:<\/p><p>What is the Connection between Machine Learning and Gesture and how does this relationship affect what Connecting with other intelligences could entail?<\/p><p>1. How does the Define \u2013 Capture \u2013 Train \u2013 Perform sequence of Machine Learning relate to that of human performativity?<br \/>2. What makes a gesture legible for human, what for machine?<br \/>3. How is stillness and pause understood by the two actors? How can the stillness and spaces in between that make so much of being and poetry be understood by the machine?<\/p><p>How is the sensory grid that the sleeve creates, where craft and beauty and pain is present, is different to the grid of the sensor array as \u201ctactile sensor system that is capable of detecting or generating \u201cpain\u201d that scientists in soft robotics claim to have developed at the DGIST in Korea? And then, one more step &#8211; what is it that they are both missing?<\/p><p>In \u201cPattern Recognition\u201d I come close to an answer \u2013 I adopt the gaze of the machine, I scan my environment, but this time laden with affective context, with care, concern, random connections between shapes: I hang a freshly washed sweater and as the heat in the room pushes the water off the wool sweater, as the heaviness of the water gives the material an oscillating, almost sensual and unpredictable motion, the unruliness and capriciousness of matter appears in front of me, I keep confusing it with my dog Milo (the two animals, animate and inanimate now meet)<\/p><p>I tile and reshuffle the sequence: this is another kind of skin, another kind of grid, sensual, tender, abbreviated and expanded. I ask the machine: do you see what I see? Could you see what I see if you have not internalised a situational awareness that is borne out of concern, friendship and emotion, none of which are performed as emotional or biological markers?<\/p><p>As I take photos, print them, assemble and reassemble them, take photos of photos \u2013 the gestures of the tools leave their own imprint on this conversation I have with machine learning. This is another type of weaving, another type of fascination with the grid, the wrap and the weft, the aura of the material,<\/p><p>and its ceaseless reconfigurable unruliness.\u2014 the aura and imprint, the gesture of the tool.<\/p><p>And this leads to the final research question, which flows from the other two: how do we look at the gestures of the tool as informing the logic of technology, something that I explore through the series of transitional objects and hybrid materialities I develop.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-9ea0da7 elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-content-middle elementor-hidden-mobile elementor-section-height-full elementor-hidden-desktop elementor-hidden-tablet elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-items-middle\" data-id=\"9ea0da7\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-background-overlay\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-f404328\" data-id=\"f404328\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-94d5edf elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"94d5edf\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<style>\/*!
