This workshop explores the connections between programming, weaving, and poetic writing. Participants will discover how early computer programs were created for the textile industry, while centuries-old textile traditions already embodied forms of mathematical coding.
Through practical exercises in basic weaving, JavaScript programming, and experimental writing inspired by Oulipo (Ouvroir de littérature potentielle), participants will create a hybrid work that materializes an algorithm using wool, code, and language. This experience demonstrates how a set of instructions can create both physical and literary textures, bridging computational history with mathematics and potential literature.
I am a writer, researcher and creative coder from Quito, Ecuador.
I hold MAs with Distinction in New Media (University of Leeds) and Literature (UASB). My writing has been featured in international anthologies, such as the V Anthology of the NYC Book Fair, and literary journals. My first essay collection, El pulso del código, winner of the 2025 Editorial Municipal de Cuenca Editorial Call, is forthcoming in 2026.
Currently, I am developing research that weaves together formal literary analysis and computational practice.
