1 HACKATHON⁺

Event Art Direction
2020

Hackathon+ was a 24 hour long event with six local artists/ designers to reuse and design with Nike’s trash and material residue. The event wasinspired by Nike’s “Move to Zero” campaign and the “Space Hippie” sneakers, which were also created using excess material in their inventory. The campaign and the event was designed to promote sustainability as
a lifestyle and a means of creativity and collaborative production. The space was also designed using the material from Nike’s warehouse in Istanbul, as well
as excess material sourced from local studios, production warehouses. Throughout the day, artists produced various pieces of design work both individually and collaboratively.

2 ETHICAL LEAKING

Zine
2020

Ethical Leaking is a zine questioning the ethics
of surveillance both online and offline. Although the photos in the zine are of strangers taken in an invasive manner, through heavy editing and distortion their faces remain anonymous.

The inspiration to title this piece “Ethical Leaking” came from Metahaven’s Black Transparency: The Right to Know in the Age
of Mass Surveillance.

3 NOCTURNE

Poster Design / Branding
2021

Poster and identity design for the hypothetical 2021 RISD Artist Ball theme, Nocturne. The word nocturne makes me think of mystery and darkness as well as elegance and dismal beauty. A big influence for the design was Alva Noto’s music, specifically HYbr:ID oval p-dance. With these keywords in mind I designed this custom type for the title, setting the tone for the rest of the design.

4 LANGUAGE OF THE MASTER

Book/ Web Design
2021

Typeset Paul Kingsnorth’s Language of the Master essay both in printed and digital form.

With the website design, the book was transformed into a more dynamic and interactive version of itself. The pixelated background changed as the mouse was moved around, revealing and hiding different parts of the essay.

5 VOODOO RHYYTHM

Poster Series/ Installation
2021

A collection of posters, typographic sketches and a short video exploring the context of Voodoo Rhythm
in rave culture. Inspired by multiple old news articles from late 80s criticizing nightlife culture and techno music I wanted to create an environment where the colorful, loud world of rave could be explored in contrast to disapproving views.

6 FORM GENERATOR

Interactive Installation
2021

Form Generator is a system intended to create textures/ forms generated by human movement.
The item depends on the participant’s arm movement to generate texture by dragging their own threshold image across the screen. As the video is being dragged around it overlaps and blends with traces
of the same video feed, creating a complex
texture/composition.

*Made using p5.js.
