Carpetdiem is a generative interpretation of Middle Eastern carpet designs. Traditional carpets are woven meticulously by artisans, and the underlying code tries to emulate these intricacies through simple yet sophisticated algorithms.
Using fractals and recursion, the algorithms generate designs and a display of fractal geometry that unfolds to infinity. Carpetdiem is a digital odyssey that unites generative carpet forms with traditional rugmaking. Through the digital loom of the blockchain, Mammadov has woven a physical carpet, inverting the relationship between digital and analog media.
Inspired by the intricate craft of weaving, the vastness of savannahs and deserts, and the mystical cadence of mathematics, Carpetdiem offers an experience that transcends the visual.
