Oiko-nomic Threads is an interactive system commenting on the notion of work through the production of a knitted textile. By rethinking and redefining the functionality of an obsolete knitting machine and rendering it part of a new system, the creation of a generative textile is made possible.

The fifth edition of the TODAYSART festival invites you to explore your thoughts, emotions and senses. Expect a concentrated, physical experience.
We are all sensitive beings, and as such we are increasingly exposed to an immense amount of input on a daily basis. Can we still really feel? Do we remember what it means to be submerged in emotion, thoughts and overwhelming physical elements? Are we still able to evaluate impulses from the outside and translate them so that we know how to act rationally?
The natural instinct to anticipate external conflict and to enter into or to strive for adaptation is being stunned by the current unbridled urge for growth and an emphasis on a material existence.
The question whether we can identify what is going on and if we can and want to intervene must be answered. Is society still open to new possibilities, both visually and in words and sounds? Can we break through our collective numbness? What is our response to these possibilities and are we still able to act instinctively? To what extent do we still dare to intervene in what we experience, and to what extent are we capable of explaining what it actually is that we experience?
History shows that whenever people face many questions, conflict ensues. Not necessarily violent, but conflict nonetheless. It is like a chemical reaction: energy is unleashed, things boil and smoke, and out of this energy a new substance emerges. But in order to start such a reaction, the two sides need to meet. There has to be a point of contact. In the real world, this can be people on the street, on the internet, in the newspapers, at debates, the political arena. Anywhere where people can take action and express themselves.
Conflict is the red thread that runs through the program of TODAYSART 09, which through multidisciplinary creative processes explores the possible rebirth of consciousness. TA 09 creates awareness, reawakens, opens eyes, generates feelings, will try and give answers and will raise new questions, examine how conflict can lead to new insights and solutions and explore the ability of the visitor to open up to external impulses.

kogin is kind of traditional embroidery from the northern part of japan. originally used as a form of darning or reinforcing work clothes, the patterns became and beautiful and intricate decoration. like the related embroidery sashiko, kogin is most commonly done with white thread on a indigo blue background.
the book includes a number of projects that combined the traditional embroidery patterns with contemporary projects and colors.
the process of creating the stitches is explained step by step. the written instructions are all in japanese, but the excellent and detailed photos of every step of the process means that if you have just a little experience with embroidery, you should have no problems learning kogin from this book.
there are a number of different kogin patterns--squares, diamonds, borders, and larger patterns--show in full-scale diagrams, and you can also see examples of where these patterns were used in projects in the book.
the kogin patterns are applied to simple sewing projects, and also clothing items. again, the written directions are in japanese only, but if you know how to sew, these projects are not complex, and there is a range of simple to more difficult items.
projects include: cushions, placemats and tea cozies, table runners, bags and purses, coasters, a pen case, a lid for a box, ornaments and book covers.

Today I presented my methods for thread drawing - using four different techniques for this simple piece - to the Harbor Art Guild in Hoquiam, WA.
I used four different techniques to create this image - standard lock-stitching on a home machine, darning on a home machine, fabric applique with fusible web, and hand-embroidery.
