Each is based on data sets drawn from a specific weaving region’s aesthetic and is designed with the aid of artificial intelligence. It is the first collaborative project by designers Mehmet Bozatlı and Güvenç Özel, also a cyberphysical architect and critical technologist, who says: ‘Design automation, for me, is not about outsourcing creativity to machines, but about using machines to enhance and inspire our own design capabilities.’ Purchasers will first obtain an authenticated digital NFT of their rug which will then be handwoven in Turkey or India to order. ‘We aim to create a bridge between an old art form and our new digital age’ says Bozatlı, an architect and third-generation rug-maker. neuroweave.xyz
