lili maya & james rouvelle's cast-on

**please set player to 720p to watch in HD**

we filmed lili knitting the monofilament mesh at the center of the work, and tracked the needles' movement. we mounted blue lasers on linear actuators and servos, then programmed the motors with the needles' position data. the table top is the shape of the room.

a separate robot, seen briefly at the start of the video, toggled a low wattage light bulb to create different lighting conditions.

the work presents a superimposition of the static, knitted mesh, and the movements that created it, transposed, and translated into the media of motion and light.

video was shot in bushwick, brooklyn, at an exhibit called 'a light in the basement'
