Ecem Dilan Köse
Ecem Dilan Köse — Istanbul-based conceptual, digital and new media artist. Contemporary installations, generative art, video mapping and immersive works on technology, nature, humanity and sustainability.
Worlds
- ID.EXE — Identity as a file that can be executed. Generative systems read names, numbers and cultural patterns, then let them drift into something neither archive nor invention.
- ANCIENT FUTURES — The body as carrying structure and the machine as skeleton. Digital sculpture and installation on what the human frame might become when technology, myth and biology evolve together.
- MAGIC REALISM — Works on memory, mourning and the pressure of living inside systems — the social body counted, barcoded and remembered.
- TEXTURES — Water, glass, soil and light as working material. Pieces where the digital work is part of the biology rather than a picture of it.
- COLLABORATIONS — Stage design, architectural projection and commissioned moving image made with institutions, orchestras and brands.
