Victoria Manganiello’s practice examines the fundamental relationship between materials and human experience through a synthesis of traditional textile methods and emerging technol ogies. Working with hand-spun yarns, custom dyes, and woven structures, she integrates historical techniques of textile production with contemporary approaches such as physical computing and computational materials. Her work spans a range of forms—including sculptural installation, wall-based works, performance, and socially engaged projects—and draws on abstraction informed by geography and systems-based mapping. By treating weaving and knitting as both code and language, Manganiello connects material processes to broader ideas of communication, while conceptually grounding her practice in the intertwined histories of technology, gender, food, and craft. Through this approach, her work creates immersive environments that bridge past and present, offering speculative reflections on the future of material and cultural systems. Show more
