Mika Tajima — Negative Entropy (Langhorne Carpet Mill, Double)
Mika Tajima

Negative Entropy (Langhorne Carpet Mill, Double)

Mika Tajima's *Negative Entropy (Langhorne Carpet Mill, Double)* transforms industrial sound data into a woven textile object, translating the acoustic frequencies of a working carpet mill into the visual and tactile language of fabric. The piece bridges the mechanical and the aesthetic, converting the rhythmic noise of industrial production into an abstract pattern embedded within the material it references. In doing so, Tajima collapses the boundaries between labor, sound, and craft, rendering invisible processes tangible and permanent.
