<h4>Coded Cloth Gallery Curated by Melinda Rackham<br>Now On-line</h4>
<p class="mainText"><a href="http://www.leonardo.info/gallery/index.html"><img src="http://www.leonardo.info/images/coded-cloth-all_200.jpg" div="" align="left" border="0"></a>A single connecting thread winds through 300 years of textile and computing history. John Kay's invention of the flying shuttle and Joseph Marie Jacquard's binary punch cards and loom head led to mathematicians Ada Lovelace and Charles Babbage's design and programming for an Analytical Engine, the direct predecessor of our modern-day mechanical computer. Without the warp and weft of textile technology, the hardware and software that enable today's ubiquitous information-processing revolution would never have emerged. In the early 21st century, the newest hybrid art forms of embedded computing and wearable technology are generating creations that would, until only recently, be beyond imagination. <a href="http://www.leonardo.info/gallery/index.html">Find out more</a></p>
