Slate Magazine discusses some innovations in making fabric, featuring SVAD assistant professor Anne Sullivan’s project, Loominary.<\/p>\n
Loominary is a game system that uses a tabletop loom as the controller for the games.\u00a0The games are written in Twine and the choices in the game are shown in distinct colors. The player weaves with the appropriate colored yarn to control the game, and in doing so weaves their choices into a scarf they are actively making through play.
