Brooklyn-based artist Andrew Salomone, has used an innovative use of hacking, to make custom knit wear with his Brother KH – 930E electronic knitting machine and attaching it to a computer.
He has always made creative and unusual knitwear from Bill Cosby jumpers to a sweater that lights up when music is played. But now he's able to make machine knit photo realistic copies of digital images, like a desktop printer reproduces an image, but this time on knitwear.
Using his vivid imagination and this novel technology, the 29-year-old has produced fantastically brilliant intricate pieces, including a scarf with the waveform of a well-known drum break and a jumper based entirely on a YouTube video.
It's getting crafters very, very excited and we can't wait to see what he comes up with next!
