"The intersection between weaving and science has a long history, one that dates back to Charles Babbage’s nineteenth-century analytical engine (and to Ada Lovelace’s early algorithms for it), which was based on his observations of jacquard looms, the first partially automated weaving machines. To go back much further, even Aristotle knew that technē (or craft) was also a form of knowledge, a way of understanding, and an opening into the unknown. Hansen is the latest in such a lineage, and his constructions are at once marvels of handwork and invitations to contemplate our world from another point of view..."— Andy Campbell, Artforum
