For this project a knitting machine will be hacked to create a live knitting interactive installation. Through one of the ikCams users can upload a sprite (a two-dimensional image) and implement it freely in the design. This sprite is then linked to the users profile and used in the knitting of the canvas.
Having the knitting machine knit for a long period of time will result in a woolen fabric document that both incorporates qualities of the identity of the users and a historical record of the place it is situated in.
Next to the knitting machine, that will be mounted on the wall, will be a projection of the images that will be knitted in the future. This makes it possible for the user to actively intervene in the knitting process.
