TEXTO TEXTIL CÓDIGO

It is a proposal that relates concepts, techniques and technologies of
three elements TEXT-TEXTILE-CODE. Relating them to Poetry,
written, oral, digital or printed word, the tocapus (textile writing that
is read in Quechua) and the idea of the game, as interactivity, highli-

to diverse works that include interactive urban interventions, selec-
tive projections or mappings, low tech analog projections, mobile
projections, as well as real-time audiovisual performances or live

I am new media artist, weaver, especialist in Andean Textile Techniques
and researcher from Bolivia.
While I work with simple and rudimentary tools like sticks, llama bones,
hand-spun animal fibbers and natural dyes, I use to weave unusual mate-
rials for the traditional Andean weave, as optical fiber, conductive thread,
copper as sensors, etc. and in the hidden structure of these weaves I in-
cluded electronics circuits, microcontrollers, movement or color sensors,
digital LEDs, code and so on. All those practices merge with each other,
resulting in works that give continuity to the ancient textile tradition of
which I consider myself part.
