Researcher and Designer - Electroknit Dymaxion by Cat Mazza and Lattice20
-
May 2019 - Jul 2019
Boston, Massachusetts, United States "Electroknit Dymaxion by Cat Mazza and Lattice20 is a collectively-created map of textiles patterns that trace global expressions of design and ornament. Patterns' origins and circulation are gestured on the interior of a 20-sided wooden structure based on architect Buckminster Fuller's Dymaxion Map. The wooden structure was placed at Columbia Point on Boston's Harborwalk, accessible to the public behind the JFK Museum and Library and was on view through July 10 through July 30, 2019… Show more "Electroknit Dymaxion by Cat Mazza and Lattice20 is a collectively-created map of textiles patterns that trace global expressions of design and ornament. Patterns' origins and circulation are gestured on the interior of a 20-sided wooden structure based on architect Buckminster Fuller's Dymaxion Map. The wooden structure was placed at Columbia Point on Boston's Harborwalk, accessible to the public behind the JFK Museum and Library and was on view through July 10 through July 30, 2019. This spring and summer, Mazza worked with the newly formed Lattice20 Collective (Nia Duong, Maria Gonzalez, Remy Hunter, Erica Imoisi and Tony Pierre) to research grid-based textile designs found in Boston- based archives. They converted the charts into knitting patterns using an open-source computer application. Electroknit Dymaxion thus uses emergent and established technologies to map practices of collective craft across time and place. By mapping textile patterns found in Boston-based archives to spark contemplation, Electroknit Dymaxion helps us reflect on how we perceive and interact with geography, place, and identity and how it changes over time."
