Rosalie Yu [ Photographic Knitting Club, Meeting No. 13 ] In this work, Yu brings together a group of material and digital artifacts created with the visual data compiled during the 13th meeting of her Photographic Knitting Club, which brought together various students to meet virtually and learn about photogrammetry. Developed as a scientific method for obtaining measurements from a series of images to remotely survey land in the nineteenth century, photogrammetry today has many applications, from 3D animation to forensics and state-sponsored surveillance. Photographic Knitting Club reflects on these applications of digital tools, while centering our attention on the domestic space, a site increasingly exposed to corporate surveillance and data extraction. Inverting the association between photogrammetry and instrumentalist extraction of data, the artifacts fabricated for this piece instead allow us to reimagine and make strange the spaces we inhabit and the intimate objects with which we share it.
