This year I was included in a project that I relished a lot. In an activity, the Art Maker Lab Center of İstanbul Modern Museum launched their first application called “Can Robots Make Art?”. I don't know the answer, in fact, we weren’t even looking for an answer when we asked this question to begin with.
I always tried to express myself with words from the 20th century but I failed to do so. I remember that in 1998, back when I was doing intense theater rehearsals, I woke up one night because of a nightmare. I wanted to explain my dream but everyone was still sleeping. I sat down and wrote its code. I didn't draw its picture, I didn't write its story—actually I did both, but I did so inside the software. I don't know why I did it that way. I don't remember the reason, but I remember I doing it. Everyone needs environments in which they can express themselves. In that particular moment, I probably just wanted to do it that way. For many years, I created a lot of jobs unrelated from one another—even I couldn’t see the relation between them. I deal with technology, code and art but it is not easy to see them intertwined. This year, these concepts—even the things that look like coincidences in my life—came together. Firstly, in June, at the Nesin Art Village, we did "Autonomous Art Machines" with Osman Koç.
Actually, this summarized the works that we did under the roof of AmberPlatform and İskele47 for years, in my mind.
