Weaving at the loom: the initial emergence of the pattern in weaving the carpet based on cellular automaton

In India, the tradition of carpet weaving is a very old one; in fact, it can be traced back to centuries. For the admiration of its aesthetics, Indian carpets also have a good international market. Now, this old tradition is meeting a purely mathematical concept to bring out wonderful patterns, thanks to Dr. Tim Otto Roth, the German conceptual artist.

Under the MaSo carpet project, Roth, along with his colleague, Miriam Seidler, developed a simple mathematical rule that has been adopted to weave a carpet. After four months, the project started at a weaver’s village in Bhadohi district of Uttar Pradesh, and a carpet of the dimension of 2.4 and 1.7 meters has come out as a final production. Roth and Seidler with their Indian partner Bholanath Baranwal made every efforts to encourage the weavers to adopt this new idea. Notably, this is also the first time a carpet has been weaved based purely on mathematical idea.
