Reading 2

These readings were extremely difficult for me, as someone with no experience with textiles, to take in. I did appreciate the definition of weaving in the first reading, and the basic walkthrough definitely helped me understand more than I thought, as when I approached the second reading, there were some points at which I did not understand fully what was being described. However, with the help of the Grasshopper definitions and repetition, I think I understand the basics of both weaving and digital weaving, though I don’t know how long creating a script of that calibre would take me. I am, however, extremely interested in the formal applications of digital weaving, in all stages of output. The workshop with marantha Dawkins also led in nicely to these readings, as some similar pattern recognition techniques are used in the creation of the digital weaving script.
