Uncomputable Thread Presentation and Movement Workshop

Uncomputable Thread is a presentation, conversation and participatory movement workshop by artist Taeyoon Choi, created in collaboration with scholar Alexander R. Galloway, choreographer Cori Kresge and artist Roopa Vasudevan. The work examines the history of textile in relation to computing, alongside the artistic and political significance of what cannot be computed and draws on themes of the current exhibition, Technologies of Relation, which includes works by both Choi and Vasudevan.
