Pera Adult

  • February 22, 2024 / 19:30

Can you code Istanbul? The silhouette of Istanbul holds many stories. Everyone looking at the same panorama will see a different story, imagining a distinct Istanbul. But what would this panorama look like if we drew it with code? In the online workshop, participants experiment with drawing geometric shapes using different codes given to them.

Note: Participants are not expected to have prior programming knowledge. The p5.js programming language will be used online, and there is no need for participants to install any programs on their tablets or computers.

Instructor: Tuğçe Bilgin Sonay
Capacity:
20 people
Duration: 90 minutes
Fee per workshop: 150 TL

The event will take place online via Zoom.

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.
