Future Looms explores the essence of human nature in today’s mechanical world and the characteristics we will inherently be carrying over to the robotic age. By leveraging our past, present and future relationship with technology the series suggest a more fluid state of mind. In striving for perfection at the dichotomy of human vs. machine, the artist displays a mechanical process and delves deeper into the concept of embedded dualities in Western humanist thinking. The exhibition highlights the importance of weaving as a catalyst for inventing computers and industrial revolution. On a more contexual note, weaving is associated with women. The motifs found on traditional kilim rugs woven by women in central Anatolia, reveal the prevailing culture and family structure of the region. On order to re-envision the existing dichotomoies, the artist interprets the patriarchal and traditional motifs by using new technologies and weaves speculative myths.
