UNFOLDING REMEMBRANCE

Hind Al Saad (QA)

Principles of early Islamic art can be surveyed as a precursor to early computational art. Even though they live in separate eras of time and location, they have threads connecting them through their underlying structures – arithmetic, harmony and the concept of the infinite.

This project translates these connections into pondering machines that fold Islamic principles into the medium of computation – developing a computational artistic practice rooted in Islamic spirituality and contemplation.
