Rugs that Look Like Digital Glitches

Azerbaijani artist Faig Ahmed’s handmade woolen carpets look like they have been through a Photoshop accident. Ahmed takes inspiration from traditional carpets but pushes the boundaries of his craft by crafting carpets that look like they have encountered computer glitches and corrupted images. “My art is an experiment. I want to examine the subject matter to see how deep can we go inside something accomplished and holistic and to observe the influence this kind of a change can have on people,” Ahmed says. The beautiful carpets are on display at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston in the US until January 10.
