Artist Statement
Contemporary Media artist
& Academic Art Researcher
Hakan Yılmaz is a Contemporary Media artist & Academic Art Researcher focused on immersive audiovisual experiences that blur the boundaries of UNI and META verse spaces. His practice consists of experiments with Immersive Art, LED sculptures, AI-driven art installations, projection mapping, real-time generative graphics & AR & VR.
Hakan’s art canvas & material is the “Advanced new media art technologies”. He uses algorithms to create abstract imagery landscapes & generative art forms to experience these interdisciplinary emotions, ideas & inspirations. Due to this unique approach, each of his works is completed with a different technique, aesthetic and different results. You cannot read his works with any traditional art reading method.
“New” is a concept that changes every day, so looking for a correlation between the artist’s works would be an “old” approach. The artist is intrigued by how the transformation of the subject of contemporary culture requires rethinking new aesthetics, techniques, and dynamic perceptions of space and he have made it his mission to use everything “new” as the material of media art, to try “new ” things and to produce completely different works each time.
