Weaving the Future

This multi-media installation, by photographer and filmmaker Tim Smith, explores how the innovative spirit that powered the textile industry over the last three centuries is driving a new revolution in the 21st century. Set against the backdrop of cards that manually ‘programmed’ the Jacquard looms in Queen Street Mill, Tim collaborates with musicians and performers from the Balbir Singh Dance Company to explore the link between the analogue and digital worlds.
