This installation by Magdalena Kohler and Hanna Wiesener called “Gelsomina” records your voice and knits the waveforms of the sound on a knitting machine controlled by 24 servos. We posted about this back in 2007, but its worth another mention. I just got an electronic knitting machine and I can’t wait to dig in and hack together a computer connection for just this sort of project. Via Bre Pettis.
