I’m Anu! I research, make, craft, code, and sometimes, hack things.
Algocraft: Remixing Craft, Culture, and Computation
I was invited to give a talk for Brilliant Labs︎, an Atlantic-Canadian based charity working with young people and community leaders to integrate creativity, innovation, and contemporary technologies with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
My talk on ‘AlgoCraft’ or Algorithmic Craft showcases projects where I bring craft, culture, and computation together in fun and inventive ways. With the help of key concepts like patterns, grammars, and symmetries, I describe my creative process of translating between heritage craft and computing languages.
