Refik Anadol (1985, Turkey) is a media artist, director, and pioneer in the
aesthetics of machine intelligence. His body of work locates creativity at
the intersection of humans and machines. In taking the data that flows around
us as his primary material and the neural network of a computerized mind as
his collaborator, Anadol paints with a thinking brush, offering us radical
visualizations of our digitized memories and expanding the possibilities
of architecture, narrative, and the body in motion. Anadol’s site-specific
parametric data sculptures, live audio/visual performances, and immersive
installations take many forms, while offering a dramatic rethinking of the
physical world, our relationship to time and space, and the creative potential
of machines.
