As part of Nawaf Tamim’s evolving new media practice, his work explores the intersection of creative coding and interactive art. He integrates tools such as Arduino and Circuit Playground Express to build responsive installations that engage viewers through motion, sound, and light. By merging traditional narratives with digital interactivity, Nawaf bridges tactile and conceptual worlds—bringing cultural memory into dynamic, programmable forms.
Islamic Geometric Code Series — Interactive Digital Pattern
Founding Day Exhibition, Saudi Arabian Cultural Mission, Washington, DC | 2025
Generative digital patterns inspired by traditional Islamic geometry, mixed with al qatt al asiri colors
In 2025, following the official launch of the Saudi Riyal symbol, Nawaf Tamim reimagined it through a generative coded animation that explores national identity in motion. Using creative coding techniques, he transformed the currency symbol into a dynamic visual form that reflects cultural pride and digital innovation. The work was exhibited at the Saudi Arabian Cultural Mission in Washington, D.C., as part of a showcase celebrating Saudi heritage and contemporary media.
