Making cloth by interlacing threads on a loom. The punched cards of the Jacquard loom link weaving to the history of computing, and many artists treat it as code.
The Jacquard loom came around in the early nineteenth century, introducing punch cards as a method of automating woven designs. This revolutionized the textile industry and greatly sped up the weaving process.
