Geometric Patterns with Creative Coding

Participants touring the exhibition Souvenirs of the Future exhibition with a guide draw inspiration from the symmetric, repeating motifs of ceramics. Under the guidance of Assoc. Prof. Selçuk Artut, the workshop provides insights into the history of "geometric arts" that emerge between the concepts of art and craft, and the complex symmetrical relationships among geometric shapes. In the workshop, geometric patterns initially drawn by hand with a compass and ruler become processable on the computer screen through creative coding. This human-computer interaction workshop allows for the use of coding in the production of geometric motifs that are mathematically analyzed.

Note: It is not mandatory to bring a computer to the workshop. Participants who wish to try the application on their devices can bring their laptops.
