It showcases ground-breaking projects shaping the future of textiles, featuring the innovative works of the participants, pioneering firms, technoparks and international creative projects.
The Digital Art performance by Ecem Dilan Köse, a conceptual artist, showcases her expertise in digital production techniques such as augmented reality. She integrates coding, augmented reality, and conceptual methods like virtual reality and artificial intelligence/machine learning in her work. Her narratives are crafted to maintain a strong connection between method and content.
The theme of her digital artwork, Cotton Flowers, is about the transformation of nature’s beauty. It narrates the journey that starts with the cotton flower and evolves into a variety of patterns and colours. Finally, in the Installation Areas featuring yarn and accessory products, the concept of textile material and space is presented as a unified whole, offering an artistic approach that provides a fresh perspective on the concept of space.
