Encrypted Embroidery is a design system supported by the Data Reclamation Handbook both created by Sophie Nadel.
In an increasingly all encompassing technology environment, the practice of encrypting information in embroidery encourages users to store their information offline. Not only does embroidery allow for slow, meditative creative practice, it also recentres a craft historically dismissed as ‘women’s work’.
Do you have an address important to you? A password or secret phrase? Translate it into a hidden code and embroider it onto your belongings to keep it with you but away from prying eyes that clamour to control all your data.
