Children transfer the world of Calculations and Coincidences, which creates patterns with colors and shapes, onto their canvases. The workshop, led by Pley Studio, combines the artistic practices of three female pioneers of algorithmic art with inspiration from the traditional craft of hand weaving. Children first make holes in their canvases by creating computational gaps, then thread colored threads and fabrics through the holes and tie knots. At the end of the workshop, children create their woven works on canvas.

About Pley Studio
Pley is a creative design studio that is based on the concept of playfulness. Aiming to help people stretch possibilities and enter the magical circle—namely, a free and playful state of mind—Pley uses open-mindedness as a tool. Addressing the concept of 'homo ludens,' which advocates that humans are playful beings, Pley serves as a guide to the game, appealing to both children and adults who engage in play.
He didn’t expect this from me. And I hadn’t expected that we would decide to get married that day, at that moment. Everything happened all of a sudden, but exactly like it was supposed to happen in our day. We thought of the idea of marriage simultaneously, we smiled simultaneously, blinking and opening our eyes in unison.
The wind blows, rubbing against my legs made of layers of metal and wires, swaying the leaves of grass that have shot up from the cracks in the tarmac, and going off to the windows that look like the eyes of dead children in the wrecked buildings that seem to be everywhere as far as the eye can see.
