Carte Blanche — Summer 2022
Turkish coffee, known as "türk kahvesi," holds immense significance in Turkish culture, deeply intertwined with daily life and social connections. "Future Visioning" is an interactive installation that blends traditional Turkish coffee reading with AI algorithm, inviting participants on a journey of imagination and introspection. It explores the power of collective imagination in shaping a better future for both individuals and the planet, while offering an Turkish coffee experience that embodies care and attention to detail.
At the heart of this installation lies a fusion of AI shape recognition algorithms and symbolism, enabling participants to envision new opportunities and possibilities.
By engaging with human-centered imagery and storytelling methodologies, "Future Visioning" encourages personal interaction within a private booth, where participants connect with the underlying code and computer system. The installation honors this analog tradition by translating it into the digital realm, questioning personal interconnectedness with computers.
