For the last several weeks I’ve been working with KK Outlet in London to create O Come All Ye Hackers, an exhibition of bad Christmas jumpers made on the hacked brother knitting machine. It opens this Thursday.

Here is a video of one of the jumpers I made with Becky Stern and the original youtube video (of a house with its xmas lights synced to a Slayer song) that it is based on:

Christmas Jumpers Show by Andrew Salomone from Becky Stern on Vimeo.

Update: I’ve uploaded a flickr set of all the jumpers in the exhibition.

I took a break from the studio to visit Zucotti Park today and gave one of the the librarians this scarf that I made. That bin next to him is what’s left of the library.

Recursive Cosby Sweater

This is a sweater that I knitted, with the hacked knitting machine, of Bill Cosby wearing a sweater with Bill Cosby wearing a sweater on it. I’m really hoping that I will be able to see a picture of Bill Cosby wearing this one day.

The Amen Break Scarf

6 September 2011

amen break beat scarf

This is a scarf I knitted based on a sample of the The Amen Break. I took an image of the waveform of the amen break and converted it into a knitting pattern, which I uploaded onto a hacked knitting machine. The knitting pattern repeats over and over the same way that the amen break sample gets looped in so many musical compositions.

Update: A bunch of people at Maker Faire asked if I was selling these, so if you feel like you’d like to have one, then you can explore those feelings further here.
