Part of Splinterfields.

Ideas:

• museums in Brussels and Genf
• Creating Sorting algorithms as per e.g. http://sortvis.org/ as textiles
• macrame as large scale lacemaking (is this true?)
• 10mm braid rope - multiple colours, prefer nonpatterned rope so as to let the knot patters stand out
• should it be a Research Workshop rather than a doing learning workshop?
• Biology and mathematics?
• Knotting patterns that give emergent 3D structures: e.g. crochet→ Hyperbolic Reef (link needed).
• Given a pattern, what is the simplest algorithm to make it → Kolmogorov Complexity
• Challenge: “How to learn some (nontrivial) mathematics through textiles”
• large scale 3D weaving - space filling cords.
• Museum visit at close of first day?

Next steps:

• Lina determines Budget
• Lina checks time: planned is 3 days around the weekend of 23/24 July 2011
• Tim checks through Bridges conferences for relevant maths / arts / crafts crossover
• Tim checks with Cheryl Praeger about some talk she gave years ago
• Lina checks prices of ropes in Brussels
• We brainstorm on this page
• We meet and discuss over drinks during the Resilients Kick Off meeting
