Discover Interface (2019) This project consists of screenshots taken from the Discover interface of the Instagram application. The Discover section offers a constantly changing content flow that is personalized by algorithms in line with users' interactions. The visuals in the project are not based on a physical reality, but on simulative images of the digital world. These digital images are easily manipulated and constantly reshaped, reflecting the aesthetic and content dynamics of the digital age. The project offers a visual narrative that emerges without my intervention by capturing the similarities in form, color, perspective and content between the images brought together by the algorithm. These images create compositions that are formed spontaneously with the algorithm's order and user preferences, revealing a visual language that questions the impact of the digital world on human perception. This version presents the main ideas of the project and the emphases related to digital images in a more concise way.
