The initial project we started in Austria in 2008 was called chmod.org The website showed our first embroidery works after we could purchase our first embroidery machine. We started to experiment with Fileformats, Code Processing and Server Solutions on the site of technology. The different shapes, meanings and feelings of the physical embroideries were the fields of artistic experimentation with textiles. People involved: Andres Mayr-Stalder, Raphaela Grundnigg, Michael Aschauer, Franz Schaefer
Embroidered PGP Key as a way to generated indivual embroidery patterns
