two blended and glitched photos from the 2013 gezi park protests in istanbul, turkey -- one of a smashed ATM and one of "fuck the system" graffiti, blended in photoshop and glitched with code in python with help from chatGPT. i see my "accidental" presence at these protests as well as their profound effect on my life as a glitch in the matrix. coincidentally, the name "neo" is also hidden on the image of the credit card in the bottom right -- an alias that i sometimes use in recent years, a reference to the matrix.
