| This work emerged from a personal impulse—my enduring fascination with details often overlooked: the subtle presence of hands, the fine lines of skin, the quiet, almost invisible movements that slip past attention. I have always been drawn to those fleeting moments when the body—most vividly, the hand—transcends mere function and transforms into something visible, autonomous, and at times unfamiliar. In Texture, I chose the hand as the central focus. Through extreme close-ups, stark contrasts, and black-and-white framing, I sought to distance the image from the body’s familiar form, so that at times it becomes unrecognisable as human flesh. The hand mutates into something foreign— altered, estranged, or undefined. This dislocation of form moves the work away from simple representation, opening instead a space for perception, disorientation, and discovery. My intention is to create a moment of renewed seeing—a chance to dwell on the overlooked and to encounter the human body anew each time. |

About us
Founded in 2018, Platform-101 emerged as a non-profit institution supporting young digital artists and establishing a foundation for digital art in Iran. In 2019, they introduced the "Manifesto of Iranian Glitch Art," championing black and white aesthetics in glitch art. Collaborating with cultural organizations, they hosted research-based performances and, in 2020, organized Iran's first Glitch group exhibition. They expanded into music collaboration, releasing an EP in noise. In 2021, "Glitch: Pixel Aesthetics" graced the Pejman Foundation. In 2022, their focus shifted to exploring Glitch in Fractal, underscoring Platform-101's ongoing commitment to pushing the boundaries of Glitch Art.

Platform 101 Pavilion – The Wrong Biennale
Platform 101 brings together 12 Iranian artists—six Gen Z voices alongside members of our collective—to explore the journey from micro to macro, from elemental forces to cosmic architectures. Water, fire, earth, wind, and spirit appear as reflections of the whole, where every drop and flame echo the rhythm of the universe. Through video, generative coding, and small integrations of AI processes, these works connect natural patterns and fractal geometries with the vast language of the cosmos. AI has mostly assisted in the musical rhythm of these creations, bringing the pieces to life. The pavilion reveals how unity emerges through cycles of chaos and order, part and whole.
Artists:
Amir Mazhari, Arash Masoom, Arezou Ramezani, Arya Mehr, Bahar Mohammadi Manesh, Mohammad Ali Famori, Naghme Jahani, Narges Astaraki, Nastaran Darabi, Reza Famori, Sara Yarandpour, Tata Sherafat
