Text.ile is a long-form generative artwork weaving patterns from letters & signs.

The metaphorical link between writing and textiles has a long tradition. We talk of weaving a yarn or embroidering a tale. If all writing is a kind of 'pattern making of meaning' derived from the fabric of language, then TEXT.ILE, a long-form generative artwork, extends this concept in another direction by weaving decorative patterns from letters and signs.
