Woven Algorithm

Exhibitied at the Noise Media Art Fair 17-21 Sept 2025

Growing up among the worn rugs and kilims of Anatolia, their geometry was never presented to us as art—they were simply there, on the floors, in the corners, in family homes. Yet when I began working with plotters and generative systems, those same repeating diamonds, hooked edges, and shifting borders began to appear on paper almost by accident.

It was an unintentional rediscovery—lines intersecting at the right angles, randomness folding into symmetry—until suddenly, the algorithm whispered back what our hands and ancestors had already woven for centuries. The aesthetics I thought I had left behind surfaced in code, filtered through randomness and precision, reborn not as fabric but as plotted ink.

Each piece in the collection is a contemporary echo of Anatolian kilim patterns: not copies, not nostalgia, but emergent structures that arise when memory, geography, and algorithm collide. They are plottable, tangible, and yet fragile like threads of time—bridges between the place we grew, and the places we continue to discover through code.
