Recalling the use of weaving in early computing and image creation, it is a mechanical display made up of urban landscape images on looped, woven ribbons that expressively rub up against one another. Pulling, snagging and fraying, their tension brings out complications in daily life amid societal shifts. This difficult movement expresses the complex and conflicted nature of Hong Kong's recent history, specifically between 2018 and 2024, the years when the collaged 360- degree/panoramic urban landscape photographs which are printed onto the ribbons were made.Attribution 4.0 International LicenseCCS Concepts: Applied computing → Fine arts; Social and professional topics → Cultural characteristics; Hardware → Sensors and actuatorsApplied computing → Fine artsSocial and professional topics → Cultural characteristicsHardware → Sensors and actuators10.2312/exw.202510622 pages
