Tufting Ex Machina

"Tufting Ex Machina" was a two-day workshop at Aavistus where 10 participants engaged in a dadaist method resulting in 24 tufted squares, covering a surface of 140 * 210 cm. The assignment was to research ones identity (cultural, national, personal and more) through patterns, and work with sketching and generative AI to combine, remix and create anew.
