A kinesthetic learner, Channing Hansen took up knitting to keep his restless hands busy and his mental bandwidth optimized. In 2009, a pivotal moment occurred when Hansen's knitting practice and art practice intersected: the artist held up a textile he was working on and saw through its stitches the century-old abacus hanging on his studio wall. This accidental layering of technologies served as something of an epiphany for Hansen :

"It got me thinking about how successful technology disappears. You don't even think about it as technology anymore. Like fiber, like textiles - that's a lot of technology from sheep to sweater." — Channing Hansen
