KI MONOConcept

KI MONO translates algorithmic patterning into textile expression. Using the Sliver Fiber Printer, pigment is applied to raw fiber following an algorithmic, self-similar pattern known for its recursive balance and aperiodicity. The result is a colour rhythm that is structured yet never repeating.

The Thue–Morse sequence

0 1 1 0 1 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 0 1 1 0 … Never repeats, always balanced.

Process
01

Algorithmic sample making

Aesthetic parameters were explored computationally, including AI exploration. Generating and testing pattern variations algorithmically determined the visual and structural language of the final piece.

02

Continuous material production

The full yarn was dyed on the sliver fiber printer in a single, uninterrupted run. Committing to the determined aesthetics at scale and preserving the material continuity of the garment.

03

Machine knitting

The fabric was knitted on a knitting machine, translating the algorithmic patterns into physical textile through a precise, repeatable process.

Continuation
Uses
Sliver Fiber Printer
The dye pattern is applied using the machine from the previous project, directly embedding the sequence into yarn before spinning.
