To the Design & Computation admissions committee:
I'm Harun Ćurak, an aspiring philosopher, post-disciplinary researcher, new media artist, and filmmaker. I am from Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina.
My formal interdisciplinary training was in Philosophy and Computer Science, which I studied at Williams College (USA) and the University of Oxford (UK). I'm also a recipient of the DAAD Study Scholarship for 2024-2025, listing Design & Computation as my 1st choice program.
In my pursuit of understanding the intersection of philosophy, art, and technology, I do not begin with a predefined discipline, but with questions that span multiple fields. I'm especially driven by the need to explore how visual and digital mediums can be used to convey philosophical concepts and address societal issues. This portfolio reflects my journey through various disciplines as I seek to find innovative answers to the many complex questions I find interesting. You may look through it by browsing this website.
I greatly appreciate your time and consideration.
