Yaro is ready for their next project!
A speculative manual for a yarn-based programming language, where crochet stitches form a visual syntax from individual loops to modular granny squares as executable units. Inspired by the Jacquard Loom's binary punch-card logic, the project asks whether weaving patterns can function as a form of language. Unlike logic-driven code, this soft computer operates closer to pictographs: concrete, tactile, and craft-based.

This project is inspired by the immortal jellyfish, a creature that can switch between two life stages, polyp and medusa. When it gets scared, it spits out polyps as a way to protect itself.
The jellyfish sits on your head like a companion. A friend that shows what's really going on inside you. Kind of like the characters in Pixar's Inside Out, it makes your inner feelings visible. The medusa is the calm outer self, and the polyp is what comes out when you feel overwhelmed or frightened, the fragile, honest thoughts you normally keep hidden.
The headpiece reacts to people nearby through a distance sensor. When someone gets too close, the jellyfish gets startled and its movement changes, just like how we tense up or pull back in social situations. It's a companion that doesn't hide your emotions.
