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.

Unearthed
in collaboration with Luke Plowden, Ruiyang Wang, Yilan Chang
Unearthed questions the permanence of humans on the planet. Players can leave a message in the sand and watch people run to see it. Throughout the show, the ground is covered in little traces left by players' messages and structures, causing the landscape to morph and change based on collective input.
