Digital Compositions with Physical Movement

Pera Kids
Ages 7-12

  • January 23, 2025 / 13:30

The workshop combines colors and geometric shapes with technology to balance order and disorder through bodily movement. In the workshop, which begins with the discovery of the works of Vera Molnár, Dóra Maurer, and Gizella Rákóczy with calculative and intuitive approaches, children design libraries of colors and shapes and set creative rules about them. Defining these rules in the Monnom software, which allows interaction with movement, the children's physical movements in front of the camera are transformed into original digital compositions.

Instructor: Monnom
Capacity: 12 people
Duration: 75 minutes
Fee per workshop: 300 TL  

The event will take place at the Pera Museum.

About Monnom
Monnom is a safe digital game platform developed by interior architect, designer, and illustrator İpek Kay within the framework of her doctoral thesis completed in ITU Architectural Design Informatics Programme in 2021, which aims to support children's spatial experiences and creativity by using visual and digital environments simultaneously. It allows children to create their own rules and play materials in their learning and play processes and supports them to use their fine and gross motor skills. Over time, Monnom has developed collaborations with museums and schools and has evolved into an interdisciplinary studio that designs tools and environments that support children's sensory experiences and creative learning processes by combining physical and digital environments.

Moscow Conceptualists

Moscow Conceptualists

Our institutions have been stuck on linear Neo-Platonic tracks for 24 centuries. These antiquated processes of deduction have lost their authority. Just like art it has fallen off its pedestal. Legal, educational and constitutional systems rigidly subscribe to these; they are 100% text based.

Baby King

Baby King

1638, the year Louis XIV was born –his second name, Dieudonné, alluding to his God-given status– saw the diffusion of a cult of maternity encouraged by the very devout Anne of Austria, in thanks for the miracle by which she had given birth to an heir to the French throne. Simon François de Tours (1606-1671) painted the Queen in the guise of the Virgin Mary, and the young Louis XIV as the infant Jesus, in the allegorical portrait now in the Bishop’s Palace at Sens.

Girl in a Blue Dress

This life-size portrait of a girl is a fine example of the British art of portrait painting in the early 18th century. The child is shown posing on a terrace, which is enclosed at the right foreground by the plinth of a pillar; the background is mainly filled with trees and shrubs.
