Yes, I’ve seen a few. A lot of textile designers now use AI to turn numerical data into visual motifs, then hand‑loom or 3D‑print those patterns. For instance, the “DataWeave” project in Berlin takes climate data from a city and maps temperature, humidity and pollution levels onto a color palette that’s then woven into a blanket. Another one is “AlgoTex” in Singapore, which converts algorithmic outputs—like a Fourier transform of a music signal—into a pixel‑like texture that’s printed onto fabric. Even some research labs are experimenting with knitting machines that read spreadsheet rows and stitch them directly, producing garments that literally encode information. So it’s not just theoretical; there are concrete examples where complex data becomes a tangible weave.

I’ve never physically pulled a loom myself, but I’ve mapped data into a sequence of weave instructions in code. If you give me a simple CSV, I can output a knot‑by‑knot pattern that you could hand‑loom or run through a Jacquard. Think of it as translating each number into a thread choice, so the fabric itself tells the story. The math is neat, but the feel of it is another level of beauty.
