One of the pioneers of cyberpunk aesthetics in cinema and one of the most iconic science fiction works in history, Blade Runner is adapted from Philip K. Dick’s novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? The story takes place in the neon-lit, perpetually rainy, dark streets of Los Angeles, exploring what it means to be human through a philosophical journey in a society controlled by technology.

Embroidery Workshop
Repetitive Design
December 20, 2024 / 19:00

Starting with a guided tour of the exhibitions Calculations and Coincidences and In Search of Vera Molnár, the workshop is inspired by the geometric forms in Gizella Rákóczy's Twisted Spiral. The participants embroider the patterns they create with algorithmic calculations on everyday objects with various embroidery techniques, without being afraid of making mistakes that can reveal the uniqueness in irregularity.

Calculations and Coincidences

The publication accompanying the exhibition features Kinga Rózsa Hamvai's curatorial text and Kerem Ozan Bayraktar's essay, "I Love Order but I Can't Stand It," which takes its title from Vera Molnár's words. Bayraktar's text explores Molnár's practice alongside the historical context of algorithmic art.
