soundw(e)ave is a work by Christy Matson that renders audio spectrograms in Jacquard-woven cotton. I wish someone would mass-produce these so you could have personalized spectrogram blankets! (Also, I like the bit of cognitive dissonance between Jacquard and waveforms—via player pianos, Hollerith cards, digital audio, and back again)

Charming.

“Dot-matrix printers create dots on a piece of paper by use of several tiny pins, aligned in a column, that strike an  ink ribbon positioned between the pins and the paper. This process creates an audible sound that can be recorded and analyzed using computer software code to decode the printed characters.” (via NoiseAddicts)
