“Hi mom, I know you can’t get to your phone right now, but I wanted to introduce you to your granddaughter, Zel.”

Care Processing Unit (CPU) is an ongoing series of interactive quilts embedded with textile speakers, each one storing a tactile and sonic memory. It combines the intersecting legacies of quilting, computation, and gender to imagine alternate, embodied logics of remembering in a computationally pervasive era. By encoding data as both textile object and digital audio through conductive thread and electronics, the quilt positions the materiality of memory as central to configuring and reconfiguring meaning over time.  

CultureHub Resident Artist Liza Stark shares a CPU quilt that unravels and knots themes of loss and motherhood, an attempt to piece herself back together after losing a mother while becoming one.

This event will focus on individual interactions with the quilt, which will last approximately 5-7 minutes. RSVP for a 30 minute slot, and we will welcome people in to interact with the quilt one by one in the order they arrive. There will be patches to examine and learn about as you wait.

Content warning: This event deals with themes of death and loss. 

This project is supported within the CultureHub Residency program.
