the name of the piece is "Replica of a Chip", and it was woven by Marilou Schultz. here is a good blog post about the piece, the weaver's current work, and a history of the Navajo nation's involvement in the semiconductor industry:
The weaving is accurate enough to determine that it represents a specific Pentium variant, called P54C.

Faig Ahmed is renowned for his mesmerizing textile pieces. He completed his most recent carpet design after months of interruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. This remarkable red tapestry, ‘Doubts’, features intricate patterns that dissolve into a viscous fluid shape, framed by white tassels.
Ahmed’s contemporary carpets are based on traditional textile craftsmanship, which he then deconstructs and reimagines in new and exciting ways.

@knottybliss patterns!
Oooooh I gotta check this site out
I can't believe more people don't know about the antique pattern library! All those public domain, vintage handiwork books and magazines are scanned in pdf format, and FREE TO DOWNLOAD! Languages include French, Italian, German, and English. It just does need to be mentioned that most of the earlier English publications are British, so American users need to make sure to convert the instructions as necessary. Especially crochet instructions, where a British double crochet is an American single. No, I don't know why 🤣
Publications include (for those who can't see the picture) :
Battenberg Lace, Beading, BerlinWork, Bobbin lace, Bookbinding (yes, bookbinding!!!)
Calligraphy, Carpentry, Crochet, Cross Stitch, Cutwork
Drawing, Dressmaking
Embroidered Net, Embroidery
Filet, Filet Crochet, Flower Arranging
Glass
Hardanger
Irish Crochet
Knitting, Knotting
Lace (soooo many forms of lace making)
Macrame
Paper, Point Lace
Quilting
Ribbonwork
Sewing
Tatting, Tulle Embroidery
Various
Waxwork, Woodworking
Workbasket Magazine -- a publication that usually posted multiple different crafts in each issue.
It's a wonderful site, and I've loved it for nearly 20 years!

our sick deranged enemy polyester....
Demonstrators and artists have taken the steps of the met museum unfurling an ENORMOUS (30 x 50 foot) quilt created by artists around the world in solidarity with Palestine.
The quilt was collectively created by 64 artists from around the world and shipped to New York City.
They're demanding the met museum:
(1) cut ties with board members profiting from Israeli bombardment + occupation of Palestine
(2) support an immediate + permanent ceasefire
(3) aid the preservation of Palestinian cultural heritage sites being destroyed by Israel
In addition to the quilt, demonstrators reclaimed and redistributed Met flyers, stickered with movement messaging and demands.
