Knitoscope Sampler is an experimental animation that will use custom software to translate digital video into the appearance of embroidery and knitted stitches. The resulting animation
series will narrate stories about the labor movement, drawn from interviews with activists, historians and textile workers. The series will be exhibited in an installation with the hand- crafted needlework used to create the piece.
