The artist created a 3D scan of the Beyazid Mosque in Istanbul, Turkey, using a LiDAR camera through Scaniverse. The 3D scan file was imported into TouchDesigner, where the artist manipulated it with algorithms.

The piece was finalized with additional editing in Premiere Pro.

The audio was generated by the artist using Aimusic.so for background sounds. It was modified with adjustments to pace, pitch, and balance, along with additional audio effects, combining multiple tracks in Premiere Pro.

SYNOPSIS:

ALADDIN: This piece comes from a 3D scan inside Beyazid Camii, a very old mosque in Istanbul. It's not just about capturing the place, it's about the quiet presence of culture and memory within it. The red carpet, worn down by countless steps, reflects the rhythm of routines that carry on over time. As the scan shifts and flickers, it hints at how even the most permanent places are always changing in subtle ways.

SYNOPSIS:

DATA FLARE: This piece combines 3D scans of sculptures I found during my travels in Prague, a city full of history, magic, and beauty. In the digital space, these sculptures take on a new form, they're no longer just relics of the past but become something different, glowing with light and sound. The laser effect and colors give them a hint of something out of place, like a glimpse of the future within the ancient. 'Data Flare' explores how objects change meaning when they shift between the physical and digital worlds.

SYNOPSIS:

OCEAN'S DIVIDE: This generative piece brings the ocean to life through code. It starts in darkness, with a thin line tearing through the center, letting waves burst out with force. The waves move unpredictably, carrying their own energy, while the sound of crashing water fills the space. 'Ocean's Divide' reflects how new things often begin from a break—like waves forming from a sudden split in the surface, reminding us that creation can come from moments of rupture.
