Generative
Works written as code: flow fields, noise, and particle systems, run until a state is worth keeping. Some stay on screen as loops, others leave the browser as pen plotter drawings or pigment prints. Filter by technique or year, or switch to the list to read the parameters.

Photography
Two ways of pointing a camera. Astrophotography collects light over hours and stacks it into a single frame; the terrestrial work is made in one exposure, mostly on foot. They are kept apart because they ask for different patience.

Photography
Nebulae and galaxies photographed from the ground, each frame the sum of many exposures aligned and stacked. The map below places the objects by right ascension and declination among the bright stars, and runs live: the orange line marks what is overhead where you are standing this minute, the coloured dots are the planets, and each object says how high it sits right now. Drag the exposure slider on any object to pull the faint signal out of the dark.

Photography
Photographs made on the ground, grouped into series rather than single images. Each series holds what belongs together — a place, a light, a stretch of time. Open any frame for camera, lens, place and date.

About
Ekin Fidel Tanriverdi works as ekinduck in Vienna, Austria. The work treats code as a drawing instrument: particle systems moving across a sphere surface, noise-driven vector fields, and pen plotter output on paper.
Alongside the code, Ekin photographs the night sky and the ground under it. Long exposures and particle systems share a logic: many small movements, accumulated until a shape appears. Open for commissions, exhibitions and collaborations. Write to hello@ekinduck.com.
