Sam Meech is an artist based in Liverpool. Sam usually works with vies but has recently shifted his practice into digital knitting. Sam was struck by the parallels between punchcards and film reels, stitches and pixels and he began to relate them in terms of digital imaging such as textiles. Sam has outline a series of experiments for himself over the course of 6 months. He will be collating and sharing research around a field of artists working with knitting/digital, working with knitting groups to document his practice and create discussion around digital textiles creating a large-scale knitted banner for the 8 hour day movement (Punchcard economy) which will be exhibited this December in FACT Liverpool and lastly developing and proving the concept of knitted animations in an approach to moving image textiles.
