The intelligence of the hand
Weaving, taken out of a traditional context is a contemporary artform. Weaving has an intellectual and a manual side, a combination of material knowledge of hands, imagination and digital technology. The hand is the interface and in this way the weaver is a protagonist of our times, especially in the experience of time itself. Weeflab founded in 2016 in Amsterdam is supported by Tesselschade .
