Can Buyukberber & Yagmur Uyanik (TR) → MORPHOGENESIS / 2016

About project

The term “morphogenesis” represents the biological process that causes organisms to take specific shapes. Inspired by this fascinating natural capacity for self-organization, the duo of Turkish artists Can Buyukberber and Yagmur Uyanik have created a performance consisting of a constant overflowing of basic geometric shapes and patterns. These gradually form their own building system that creates a space around visitors to the SIGNAL Dome, completely immersing them. The goal of this audiovisual journey through various aspects of the physical and biological world is to call attention to the mutual connectedness of all components of natural forces through time and space.
