It is showcased at the [Helsinki Design Museum](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/finnish-design-export) alongside scenery visuals that are generated by AI software for a technological theme. The pieces are seen as objects that border between the lines of art and design, translated through large textiles that hang from the ceilings and decorate the range of rooms in the museum. The museum states "The jacquard technique can be referred to as one of the early precursors to the computer. It was the first mechanized technique which enabled the transfer of information about a particular pattern to a weaving machine with the help of a punched cylinder, to eventually become a piece of textile."
