Scraper SystemUpdated:
Curated by Samed Karagoz, the exhibition "I Speak with Istanbul" (Istanbul ile Konusuyorum) will meet art lovers in the lobby area on the 1st floor of Block D at the Istanbul Shopping Center. The exhibition can be visited free of charge until Dec. 16.
Istanbul's multilayered identity interpreted through art
Featuring works by Ozan Turkkan, Eylul Alici, Kivanc Aykan, Raziyye Kuzu Atalay, Server Demirtas, Selcuk Artut and Fuat Degirmenci, the exhibition explores Istanbul's identity, shaped by people, nature, architecture and memories, through the different forms of expression of contemporary art.
Bringing together works from disciplines such as painting, sculpture, installation, digital art, photography, ceramics and illustration, the exhibition starts from the question: "Does a city's memory live only in people?" In this approach, Istanbul is reimagined not merely as the subject of the works but as a living narrator.
Memory, technology and the city
Server Demirtas's work "Otoportre / Self-Portrait" focuses on invisible memories that accumulate over time through a body hidden under a cloth. The work draws a connection between what the human body conceals and the stories accumulated on Istanbul's old walls, streets and shores.
Eylul Alici's "Neural City" treats the city as an organism constantly changing through people's movements, encounters and relationships. By linking the neural networks of the human brain with the complex structure of the city, the work focuses on Istanbul's dynamic, ever-reshaping structure.
In Ozan Turkkan's video installation "Bridges," historical bridge drawings and architectural plans are transformed into digital systems through creative coding and artificial intelligence processes. In this work, bridges are interpreted not only as physical points of connection but also as symbols of communication, encounter and partnership.
Kivanc Aykan's interactive work questions the relationship between people, nature and technology through the plants that accompany urban life on Istanbul's balconies and windows. The work focuses on treating plants as part of the city's memory.
Traditional motifs and generative technologies
Raziyye Kuzu Atalay's work "Latent Knots" (Latent Ilmekler) reinterprets Turkish carpet and kilim motifs with AI-assisted algorithms. Generating new compositions in real time with deep learning-based systems, the work explores the visual forms traditional motifs take on as technology changes.
Selcuk Artut's "Geomart-ut7" series builds a bridge between geometric art and today's generative technologies. In the work, simple geometric forms move and turn into complex structures, examining the concepts of repetition, infinity, order and chaos through the possibilities of computational art.
Fuat Degirmenci's work "Minimal Renaissance" (Minimal Ronesans) explores the boundaries between physical and digital experience. The work contributes to the narrative of Istanbul that the exhibition builds through different forms of expression.
Approaching Istanbul's timeless spirit and changing urban identity through contemporary art, the exhibition invites visitors to reconsider their relationship with the city.
