Knit + Code is a mixed reality installation blending digital and physical experiences into an immersive spectacle. At its core is a minimal 3D-knit textile dynamically lit with a range of slowly changing lights. This physical form creates a canvas for a digital mixed reality experience: Viewers scan a QR code below the sculpture to launch into the digital space, where a custom algorithm generates multi-colored fibrous models that extend beyond the confines of the physical structure. Knit + Code blurs the boundaries of digital fabrication and spatial design, inviting viewers to explore the space in new ways.

Knit + Code is an interdisciplinary design collaboration made possible by the Pratt Institute School of Design. It was designed and fabricated in Brooklyn, NY for Pratt Shows 2023: Design by a team of Pratt School of Design faculty and students.
