In the organizer's words:
Gloria Sogl merges traditional craftsmanship with digital technology in her work. Her preferred artistic medium is tapestries, which are created on hand-operated digital and fully automatic Jacquard looms. For her motifs, she digitally overlays collected image material to create complex visual information, which is further condensed in the weaving process - sometimes to the point of illegibility. This transformation translates human gestures into coded patterns, preserving traces of "comprehension" at the interface of craft and digital production.
As one of the earliest forms of algorithmic thinking, weaving is deeply rooted in cultural history. Sogl explores how this practice can express sensuality, perception, intuition and tactile forms of knowledge in a digital context. She questions Western concepts that view digital information as abstract and detached from physical presence - even though algorithms emerge from material practices. By transforming digital designs into the physical-tactile reality of woven textiles, she bridges these opposites, exploring the space between 0 and 1 and investigating how embodied practices can enable new forms of interaction and being.
