Distorted Space
year: 2015/16
The author is developing the project “Distorted Space” (from 2015. to 2017.) as part of their Ph.D. thesis research. This project explores the connection between scientific concepts and visual, symbolic, and cultural contexts. The visual works are created using various media, including traditional manual techniques such as paintings and drawings, as well as digital graphics and video clips. The aim of the project is to integrate visual, aesthetic, and intuitive methods with scientific research and achievements. The research is based on sequences from Stanley Kubrick’s film “A Space Odyssey 2001” (1968), which represent space-time distortion due to acceleration in an abstract manner. The artworks, including video objects, digital collages, object images, and light installations, visualize scientific and philosophical concepts related to simulation and reality. Through the integration of text phrases into a visual concept, the author aims to encourage questioning of the boundaries between the real and the imaginary, time categories, the limits of body and mind, and the individual and the collective.
