22nd of February 18:00- re-construction of space
Murat Germen 
Burak Arikan

Space is usually defined / experienced as a physical entity; yet, we
recently began to observe that the notion of Œspace¹ can exist / be
perceived / used as a non-physical organism by means of interactive media
and virtual environment applications in the computer platform. Such
creations bring new definitions of ³space² and can be named as
³informational space² or ³cognitive space². As a result, it is possible to
talk about a process of re-constructing space. While Burak Arikan pursues
this process by creating pieces involving computer networks and using the
concepts of connectivity, collectivity; Murat Germen follows a similar path
within the realm of digital photography and also computational design
studies that he conducts with colleagues from Sabanci University.

santralistanbul will host this meeting at Istanbul Bilgi University,
Dolapdere Campus, Z-04
