Weave your story

About Vibeweaving

See what you look like as a pattern. Co-create from sound, motion, place, and color through a human and AI loop, then own and trace it with provenance.

What The Platform Does

Vibeweaving turns field research into interactive drawdowns, the threading, tie-up, and treadling grids that make a weave reproducible. In the Lab, drafts are reconstructed with credits, licenses, and read only access so structure and context stay intact. In the Studio, those drafts can be visualized, made sound reactive, and explored as weavable variants that respect material constraints for teaching and making. The goal is simple: keep knowledge legible, linkable, and weavable so cultural memory can move from note to draft to artifact, with provenance that travels.

What You Can Do

Studio

Create audio-reactive patterns using algorithms grounded in traditional textile techniques. Generate, customize, and export high-resolution designs.

How We Work

Fieldwork

Photos, audio, interviews, and color archaeology gathered on site.

Translation

Audio transcribed and checked by native speakers with textile vocabulary.

Drawdown

Structure reconstructed; credits, permissions, and license captured.

Studio

Visualize, make sound-reactive, and export variants that respect float limits.

Ethics & Giveback

We practice informed consent, community review where appropriate, and benefit sharing on revenue-bearing editions. When we teach with or build upon documented knowledge, we credit all contributors and link back to the source record. When communities request removal or changes, we comply and update the provenance record.

Physical Output

From digital pattern to physical artifact. Every piece carries its computational lineage.

CURATED

Culture Editions

Limited, numbered works that document specific cultural moments. Each piece includes a Certificate of Authenticity and QR code linking back to field documentation, contributors, and cultural context. These are not decorative objects; they are computational archives made tangible.

  • LED frames with live pattern generation
  • Archival prints with embedded metadata
  • Woven textiles from verified drawdowns
  • Complete provenance chain

YOUR PATTERNS

Custom Merch

Turn Studio patterns into physical products. Each item includes a QR code linking to your design and research context. Mugs, totes, and apparel become a way to own generative art.

  • Physical products with your patterns
  • Unique QR code provenance per item
  • Links to pattern parameters and research
  • Part of an ongoing experimental archive

Core Values

Material Intelligence

Code that respects physical reality. Algorithms that encode centuries of weaving knowledge about what materials can and cannot do.

Reciprocal Documentation

Not extraction, but preservation. Working with communities to archive computational knowledge while ensuring economic benefit.

Complete Systems

Textiles are ecosystems: pattern + color + material + climate + culture. Documenting the whole system, not just the surface.

Accessible Complexity

Computational tools that make pattern creation accessible while honoring the mathematical elegance weavers have practiced for millennia.

Weave Something Together

Whether you're a musician wanting to turn your sound into living patterns, a weaver interested in computational tools, or a researcher documenting traditional textiles, let's collaborate.

THE FOUNDER

Shih-Wen Huang
黃詩雯

Vibeweaving was founded by Shih-Wen, whose textile background guides a practice that connects heritage drafts with contemporary fieldwork. With training in Information Experience Design and HCI, she reads data as a pattern, treats culture as structure, and builds tools where credits and provenance stay clear.

Drawing on heritage weave knowledge and ongoing fieldwork, the platform translates ethnographic inputs such as sound, color archaeology, landscape, and lived experience into computational drafts and physical artifacts with full provenance. The result is a set of digital, credited patterns that weave cultural data while respecting material constraints and community context. This is why we say, weave your story.
