The Cube

by Kerim Dündar

Kerim Dündar, in his art project of Yakaza, desings ethno-futuristic cult(ure) of the Metaverse. His artwork, The Cube, seeks novel architectural occurrences in hybrid possibilities of infinite spaces and evolutionary algorithms. Bio-architectural tiles are produced with the art-direction of reaction-diffusion algorithm borrowed from nature. In a phygital perspective, mirrors create the illusion of an endless plane-scape, an infinite space, to merge the physical with digital, as Yakaza promises. As result, architectural tiles transform into living evolutionary processes.

Immersive Installation by xtopia presenting Ecem Dilem Kose

Hollow:

“Hollow” bridges the gap between the code-based and organic particles. It represents the inevitable unification of the digital and the organic, in effortless harmony with nature’s holistic wisdom.

CONSCIOUS EXISTENCE:

is a linear 12min pre-rendered, stereoscopic 360/VR short film by Marc Zimmermann aka. EpicScapes.

You are gifted every moment with life's most precious achievement: A conscious mind, enabling you to sense and hold within, the universe's boundless beauty - a source of infinite inspiration that fuels your inner space.

Our way of thinking about life influences our perception of the world around us. False priorities can act like blinders and make us overlook the ever-present beauty of the universe, which can be our greatest source of energy and inspiration. A positive and grateful mindset enables us to harvest that energy to fuel our inner space and retain well-being. With this virtual-reality experience I express my own appreciation for and feelings about the gift of life. We need keep our ability to see the world through the wondering eyes of a child.

It is a journey within that hopefully will touch you on an emotional level and make you transcend into a relaxed and appreciative state of mind.
