ABOUT
She is a conceptual contemporary artist with deeply ingrained roots in the architectural discipline and generative art. She produces by using digital tools in the context of concept method relationships.
In her effort to make sense of the world and the universe; Ecem created an artistic approach that encapsulates the interplay of similarities between organic textures and digital data. Her holistic style breaks down artificial distinctions in information processing as she carefully interweaves digital and natural data to process it as a whole.
She heralds a new world of knowledge where the rigid fragmentations of duality fade as humans reach out to their inner core and unveil the long-omitted code of unity. Arguing that the future can be compatible with human nature with the integration of technology and organic materials, Ecem deals with the subjects contrive with by examining the present, future, and historical processes.
As an artist who defies artistic classification's narrow boundaries, she has been expressing her creative energy in many fields, digital art installations, AI, VR, sculptures and conventional artwork, and audiovisual performances.
She plays an active role in the NFT world by using blockchain technology for the protection and ownership of her artworks that maintain her production in Istanbul.
