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.

About Selçuk Artut
Assoc. Prof. Selçuk Artut focuses on the theoretical and practical dimensions of human-technology relationships in his works. An author of seven books and editor of one, Artut serves as an Associate Professor in the Visual Arts and Visual Communication Design Program at Sabancı University, where he primarily teaches Sound and Interaction courses. A member of the Post-Rock Avant-Garde music group Replikas since 1998, Artut has been releasing various albums and, since 2016, is a founder of RAW, a visual-auditory performance duo producing works with creative coding and live coding techniques.
A series of small and rather similar nudes Bedri Rahmi Eyüboğlu and Eren Eyüboğlu produced in the early 1930s almost resemble a ‘visual conversation’ that focus on a pictorial search. It is also possible to find the visual reflections of this earlier search in the synthesis Bedri Rahmi Eyüboğlu reached with his stylistic abstractions in the 1950s.
Men were the first nudes in Turkish painting. The majority of these paintings were academic studies executed in oil paint; they were part of the education of artists that had finally attained the opportunity to work from the live model. The gender of the models constituted an obstacle in the way of characterizing these paintings as ‘nudes’.
