G.O.A.T Protocol
G.O.A.T. Protocol is an hour-long music theatre piece that follows through the journey of our protagonist who is trapped within a multiverse of iconic action - science fiction cinema repertoire in which they try to navigate a way out of this madness, or perhaps end up being the ultimate heroin during the process, the G.O.A.T. main character of the multiverse! The performance aims to develop this narrative through various elements of the stage with an ensemble (musician - performers), electronic music and sound design, multiple projection mappings and an extensive lighting design.
ALGORITHMS
DO DREAM
The Lost Generation exists within an in between state where reality and artificial environments border each other through an audiovisual performance piece. On this staged work for four musicians, two actors, a dancer, robots, electronics, visuals and lights; director Ludmilla Mercier (CH) and composer Arda Yurdusev (TR) explores what it means to be human within a reality that is consumed by the digitalization of self.
Quanta
Quanta is an audiovisual experience that aims to embody the spacial qualities of an environment and blend them with multimedia elements in order to showcase an advanced version of the physical space. By using digital parameters as an organic composition element through mapping the audio and video to the structural core of the space, the series aims to showcase a potential digital reality within everyday spaces. A world that lives in between the clash of aesthetics, opening a window to a dialogue with the 21st century artificial intelligence based worlds, creating a safe environment to observe everyday spaces through a different perspective.
NeuroDrive
NeuroDrive is a concert-length composition that is realized through a collective initiative at Kulturesk Festival 2024 curated specially for Kulturzentrum Reitschule in Bern (CH). The purpose of the project is to conceptualize Grosse Halle with all of its unique graffiti through an ensemble of musicians and live electronics within an octophonic speaker setup, projected visuals on the walls of Reitschule and lighting design within a 45 minute audiovisual performance.
C-AML
C-AML is a music theatre piece for four performers, actor, electronics, visuals and lighting design that focuses on sensitive topics, therefore it occasionally features heavier scenes. The aesthetic of the piece is conceptualized so that it would be perceived from the point of view of a child’s mind and imagination at certain scenes, which result in some humorous parts throughout the show as well.
Suita
Suita is a musiktheater piece which features a scene where elements from various realities and timelines collide in a sci-fi ambiance. The stage features two shoji doors (left and right), an object in the middle and the performer sitting behind the object, in between the shoji doors. All three elements mentioned on the stage are mapped with 20 different layers of projection. The object and shoji doors are connected to the shakuhachi and VR glasses (that the performer wears) through various cables.
Chaplin Prints
Chaplin Prints is an audiovisual installation for electronics and video projection that simulates an algorithmic processing of text source into visual codes that form the unique narrative of the installation. Starting point for the project is to dictate selected bits of the speech Charlie Chaplin gave towards the end of classic film, The Great Dictator, and translate the text into ASCII values (8-bit Binary Codes). This operations form the core material for then to be composed into a set of visual narratives of an ai dreaming on the words of Chaplin.
