carpet/?s and t-shirt/?s is an internet based project that allows you to try preprogrammed
machines for generating patterns made out of ascii (American Standart Code for
Information Interchange). It runs on a
php application where internet
resources are used as yarn to make ascii cloths.
The user only has to do one click and a machine does the rest. The
program generates output, which is always unique. It is
based on the time when the surfer goes to a web site. The time in a form
of hh:mm:ss is then used as a keyword for the results taken from a
search engine. The program downloads the contents of given
results, rejects html tags and white spaces and puts all content
into a image-like pattern. The produced image can be printed
out on a t-shirt or weaved in a factory and then shipped to the addressee.
The process of weaving the rug usually takes a month after the arival of payment. The
rug is weaved with a natural wool and/or linen. The yarn left on the facing side of the
rug is 1cm or longer if there is a special request. The ordered t-shirt is shipped within a week.
