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.

Programming Uncertainties is an ongoing artistic research project that reimagines coding as a dynamic, uncertain and expressive practice, challenging the industry’s utilitarian focus that reduces code to mere functionality. Mesh is an esoteric programming language/notation that initially takes the form of a fabric-like grid. The programmer can disrupt the grid by moving, cutting and mending the grid lines. All disruptions made by the programmer alter the grid irreversibly. Like many other esoteric languages, the coding experience focuses on the process and medium of code as creative rather than its output. The code is executed through a live interface, exploring code as a live thought process and a disruptive act,
inspired by live coding performance practices. The notation and interface experimented with different ways of personal expression through code, including hand-gesture interactions and uploading mixed media. The latest iteration aims to engage with the concept of ‘cutting’ and ‘reconstructing’ more in depth, involving mixed media, inspired by subversive perspectives of practices such as collage and cut-up.
