A Digital Forest

Pera Adult

  • January 10, 2025 / 19:00

Are you ready to create your forest with artificial intelligence inspired by plants? In this workshop, participants first introduce the plants, trees and flowers growing in the coordinates they choose in the world to artificial intelligence, and then design a fantastic forest fueled by their imagination. These visuals, which will be easily created on a computer or phone using AI-supported drawing and painting applications, come together according to the x-y coordinates determined by each participant from the beginning and form a collective forest map. Thus, everyone's original creation becomes part of a whole, while the vegetation gains brand new identities. Each design is printed out in the same size, creating a collective landscape.

Instructor: OyunMu
Capacity: 15 people
Duration: 90 minutes
Fee per workshop: 400 TL

The event will take place at the Pera Museum.

Transition to Sculpture

Transition to Sculpture

If Manolo Valdés’s paintings convey a search for materiality, his sculpture does so even more. Today, sculpture has taken over most of his workspace, his time, and his efforts.
