The 3th warp has an own live, and it makes the fabric exiting.

Silja and Sytze weave on the machine by themselves. During the production is it possible to intervene, to use new ideas, and to try out the possibility of the machine.
They communicate between the machine and their possibilities.
The same as in the designproces, to communicate between the computer and the loom.
