One sentence
I design interactive systems — for museums and businesses alike.
The thread
Since 2017, one territory: the connections between heritage, gesture, and code.
The work moves between installation art, game interfaces, and AI automation. The medium changes. The question stays the same: what does a system know, and how does it communicate that knowledge?
The thesis: the thread is the ancestor of the pixel
A Berber carpet encodes information in a grid of coloured knots.
A screen displays information in a grid of coloured pixels.
Same structure, same logic — four thousand years apart.
This is not a metaphor. It is a formal observation: pre-digital cultures already built structured, programmable, transmissible information systems — woven, carved, tiled. The pixel inherits from the knot. The algorithm inherits from the pattern.
This thesis drives everything: the artworks, the AI architectures, the teaching.
Works
| Title | Format | Description |
|---|---|---|
| ZELLIGE ARTCADE | Multi-player platform, smartphones | A collective game drawn from Moroccan geometric tiling. Each player's phone becomes a tile in a shared mosaic. |
| KOUTCHI | VR installation, 6 stations, physical reins | Immersive journey through the medinas of Fez and Marrakech. The reins control movement — a gesture borrowed from the guides who led tourists through narrow streets. |
| DERB.EXE | Arcade cabinet, 2-player co-op | A cooperative game set in the urban labyrinth of the derb. Two players, one cabinet, no map. |
| THE SCRIPT_MINER | Voice → AI → print installation | Visitors speak a word. An AI mines a corpus of historical texts. A printer outputs what it finds. |
| THE WORD_BROKER | Voice → AI → quotation | Words become assets. Visitors trade linguistic commodities in a real-time market driven by speech. |
| DATA RUG | Urban data → textile | Urban datasets — traffic flows, air quality, population density — translated into weaving patterns. The city as carpet. |
