Refik Anadol is a Turkish-born media artist, director, and pioneer in the aesthetics of data and machine intelligence. His body of work locates creativity at the intersection of humans and machines. In taking the data that flows around us as the primary material and the neural network of a computerized mind as a collaborator, Anadol paints with a “thinking brush,” offering radical visualizations of our digitized memories and expanding the possibilities of architecture, narrative, and the body in motion. His site-specific AI data sculptures, live audio/visual performances, and immersive installations take many forms and encourage viewers to rethink their engagement with the physical world, its temporal and spatial dimensions, and the creative potential of machines.
