This is a quilting extension project page started with Scratch.
TINAAAA surpriiiiiseeee, im bored at work so I added some things here!! Could you maybe link the awesoooomeeeee are.na block you have here somewhere, maybe like make another title called archival or process or idk up to you?
on it <3
quilt! heheheheh, we should find a nice tutorial and set a date to experiment? we can use our hair straighteners as iron hehe
RESEARCH
We want to start by getting a good understanding of quilting. Plan is to make a small quilt and read Many Hands Make a Quilt: Short Histories of Radical Quilting by Jess Bailey. We couldn't find an online source for it so we bought it, we will scan and add it to the bootleg library.
ARCHIVAL PROCESS
links, refs, etc.
A pixel trading club where people could build a colourful internet quilt and make new friends <3
- Quilt geometry definitely reflects the history and mathematics of the people, many of whom who are not traditionally thought of as worthy of study. From an ethnomathematical perspective, this study has allowed these researchers to better understand quilting as an art form done primarily by many women, in many countries. Women in both the United States and Brasil, for example, have also used quilts in order to have a voice; to express political, social, and religious beliefs. Though it is primarily an art form now, the Afro-American connection to quilting in both countries was entwined with the struggle for freedom. In so doing, since most quilters (women) lacked the opportunity to adequately express themselves through writing, they initially used skills they had to express themselves through elaborate quilts, and related work. It was in this way that quilting became an outlet for the expression of women’s thoughts, dreams, feelings, life experiences, and as became a commentary on social, political and community events. Even today, people have created quilts to express their opinions on various causes as well as to remember people or events. The AIDS Memorial Quilt initiated in 1987 by Randy Shilts and a group of people who decided to make a quilt to remember their friends and loved ones who had died of AIDS. The AIDS quilt is now so large that it can no longer be shown together in one piece, so parts of the quilt are displayed in schools, libraries, and public places around the world in honor of World AIDS Day. This is a very important aspect of an ethnomathematics program because the validation of the mathematical practices of this cultural group that is often deemphasized or left out of history of people (D’Ambrosio, 1990)."
- manifesting for a future like this:
- Podcast of Isabella Rosner : https://sewwhatpodcast.com/
- some of our quilting extension browser screenshots (we went crazy with this and it was beautiful)
TO BUILD
- first quilt testing
- web extension : look into the local storage thing....... ://////
- maybe we can first develop a .css extension to see what can websites look like as quilts themselves. maybe put linguistics and story into the css like what properties could stitch together, what is the position they should take? what makes poetic sense to come together? Should a header <h1,h2,h3> be a horizontal solid line and text just become dots? (we could do this with the .js file Joseph showed us?) Anyway! much to think about
TO TEST
- quilting
