ABOUT ME
I am Yasemin, a computational artist-researcher and an Associate Lecturer at the Creative Computing Institute at University of the Arts London.  

I have a background in Computer Engineering and an MSc in Creative Computing. In my practice, I explore social and political aspects of coding through interactive, critical software and installation work.

I have experience with various programming paradigms and languages, exploring their intersections with the arts and humanities. 

I primarily use creative coding, digital fabrication, game engines, and microcontrollers in my projects.

Creatures of the Wood Wide Web
in collaboration with Adina Nicola, Astryd Park, Hannah Petter

Creatures of the Wood Wide Web draws inspiration from the interconnectedness observed in nature, such as the communication networks between trees and fungi, and the multi-sensory interactions of octopuses, to foster a vision of human connections that transcend language for more harmonious interactions within an urban setting. We aim to broaden participants' perspectives, making them realise their roles not just as inhabitants of the universe but as co-creators, responsible for nurturing every being with care, thereby extending the installation's principles into everyday life and beyond the confines of the projected imagery.
