ABOUT ME
I am Yasemin and I am currently studying MSc Creative Computing at the University of the Arts London. 

I’m a computational arts practitioner. I like to explore our complicated relationship with technology, think critically about code and take inspiration from history, particularly ancient artefacts and cultures. By combining history with technology, I aim to challenge linear thinking and nature-culture binaries in my works. I primarily  use creative coding, 3D printing, game engines, and microcontrollers in my projects.

I have also previously worked in exhibition planning as an Assistant Creative Director. More information can be found on our exhibition website

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.
