Spit in a tube and get a tapestry: artists are now weaving DNA into cloth on Jacquard looms—the same machines that gave us binary code. Textiles aren't a trend. They're the original technology. 🧵 Ginevra de Blasio's new piece on why fiber is eating the art world: nowvoyagermag.com/culture/the-...

An Examination of the Long History of Textile Art and Its Modern “Rediscovery”
Despite centuries at the center of artistic practice, textile and fiber art are contemporary art’s newest obsession. Why are they still treated as new?
