Exploring Self-Perception through Algorithmic Art
LATTICE by acclaimed graphic designer and digital artist MHX (Muhammet Altun) is an installation that transforms the ARTECHOUSE NYC space into a mesmerizing, structurally complex algorithmic world. MHX’s work offers a profound journey into the core of digital creation and self-perception through evolving grid-like structures.
LATTICE originated from a purely technical exploration: an algorithm MHX developed that, when given a mathematical input, would generate a dense, web-like knit structure. This foundational system then evolved into a deeper, more conceptual piece.
By working with procedural system Houdini, he merged the algorithmic structure with a human head figure, a fusion that ultimately came to symbolize the breakdown and reintroduction of a person’s self-perception. The result is a work that is both a technical marvel and a philosophical meditation on identity in the digital age.
“I have always been inspired by real-life data-driven generative artworks from great artists like Refik Anadol.

Accessing large amounts of meaningful data is not always as straightforward as one might think, since many great datasets are not publicly available. “
About the Artist
MHX
Muhammet Altun, known as Mhx, is a self-taught visual artist and generalist based in Istanbul. His work focuses on 3D generative art and experimental motion design, constructed through procedural systems and simulations. By fusing algorithmic processes with aesthetic storytelling, Mhx creates works that balance fragility with emergence, precision with play.
