The work Kristen Roos creates explores the premise that weavings created by punched card Jacquard looms of the 1800s were the first example of an image created from data, as a kind of early form of digital image. This connects to his research with personal computers, and would add a wider historical context to his research into the roots of the digital image.

Weaving Cultural Identities explores multicultural identity and intercultural relations through traditional weaving as a storytelling medium. Graphic artists and weavers from Vancouver’s immigrant Muslim communities and Coast Salish Indigenous communities including Musqueam, Squamish, Tsleil-Waututh, and Tl'azt'en were brought together in collaboration to create a series of 10 small-scale “prayer rugs” inspired by Islamic prayer rugs and ceremonial Indigenous weavings.
