Marilou Schultz created a Navajo weaving in 1994 that accurately depicted Intel’s Pentium chip, utilizing traditional materials and techniques. The rug was commissioned by Intel and is part of an art exhibition that explores the junction between abstract art and woven textiles. Schultz used plant dyes and a fine yarn to recreate the intricate design of the processor. The weaving represents the P54C Pentium variant, known for being faster, smaller, and more energy efficient than its predecessor. Fairchild’s involvement in Navajo land in the 1960s aimed to boost economic development, but faced challenges and ultimately ended in closure due to the semiconductor industry crisis in 1975.
