CHRISTINE KRÜGER: MUTAGARN

Mutagarn is a pattern generator for processing leftover yarns from industrial knitwear production. At the touch of a button, it repeatedly generates new patterns according to a predefined system. The generator automatically calculates the possible colour distributions resulting from the amount of yarn left over according to predefined parameters. An initial use case is the creation of new garments, which are shown as 3D visualisations and can be produced on demand using a computer-controlled knitting machine.

Mutagarn was honoured with the Silver Stripe Award (Design Center Hamburg) and supported by the Creative Business Academy of the Hamburg Kreativgesellschaft.
