The digital media arts center Harvestworks just announced that one of their 2008 Artists-In-Residence is developing a "knitting needle working symphony."
From their email:
"Laure Drogoul - networked interactive performance
A knitting needle working symphony. Approx 40 knitter-performers knit in unison creating a singular knit object-environment. The knitters needles will be equipped with mini pick-up microphones, and the knitters will be networked to send in these sounds via internet. The sound is then recorded, played and mixed in a live installation: a virtual knitting circle-score as immersive audio-video environment. Laure recently received the Janet and Walter Sondheim Prize."
