## About this plan

If you want a different plan in Bogota, this free workshop at the Cinemateca connects textile crafts with computational thinking. It is called "From Loom to Pixel: Ancestral Coding Systems" and is part of the Experimental Images and Sounds Season, a project from the Cinemateca Medialab with the CREA program from Idartes.

The workshop treats weaving as a technology for representation and memory. You will build basic looms, practice techniques like warp-faced weaves and cards, and see how those patterns hide binary, sequential, and algorithmic structures. At the same time, the group explores digital reinterpretations of the same patterns on screen.

It is a meeting point between handcraft and code, aimed at curious adults over 18. You do not need weaving or programming experience, only a willingness to experiment with your hands and on screen.

- Free workshop with prior registration
- Where loom weaving meets computational thinking
- For adults over 18, no prior experience required
- Sessions on Tuesday and Saturday at Bogota Cinemateca
- Part of the Experimental Images and Sounds Season

## Who it's for

For adults over 18 who are interested in crafts, digital technologies, and experimental creation, and who want to explore the meeting point between handcraft and code without needing any prior experience.
