Participants touring the exhibition Souvenirs of the Future exhibition with a guide draw inspiration from the symmetric, repeating motifs of ceramics. Under the guidance of Assoc. Prof. Selçuk Artut, the workshop provides insights into the history of "geometric arts" that emerge between the concepts of art and craft, and the complex symmetrical relationships among geometric shapes. In the workshop, geometric patterns initially drawn by hand with a compass and ruler become processable on the computer screen through creative coding. This human-computer interaction workshop allows for the use of coding in the production of geometric motifs that are mathematically analyzed.
Note: It is not mandatory to bring a computer to the workshop. Participants who wish to try the application on their devices can bring their laptops.

About Selçuk Artut
Assoc. Prof. Selçuk Artut focuses on the theoretical and practical dimensions of human-technology relationships in his works. An author of seven books and editor of one, Artut serves as an Associate Professor in the Visual Arts and Visual Communication Design Program at Sabancı University, where he primarily teaches Sound and Interaction courses. A member of the Post-Rock Avant-Garde music group Replikas since 1998, Artut has been releasing various albums and, since 2016, is a founder of RAW, a visual-auditory performance duo producing works with creative coding and live coding techniques.
Byzantine medical art was grounded in the Greco-Roman medicine transmitted by Hippocrates and Galen and new concepts introduced by such physicians as Oribasios of Pergamon, Aetius of Amida, Alexander of Tralles and Paul of Aegina.
Knowledge of plants and the practice of healing are closely entwined. The toxic or hallucinogenic nature of some roots, and the dangers associated with picking them, conferred a mythical or magical character and power.
The shrines that created the glory of Constantinople through their lavish beauty were also repositories of precious relics and thus sources of healing.
