In Istanbul and Karlsruhe

Two ancient capitals, one burning and teeming with life, the other sedate, wealthy and provincial are the sites for the installations of two projects through which I express my Gratitude for Technology: iMine and le Laboratoire de Deberlinisation.

iMine, the experimental art-app in a new Turkish version  is presented as a site-specific installation using tape, posters, video, and found objects, at ISEA2011 Istanbul in the back court yard and ground floor of the NURU_ZIYA lounge  in Tophane from September 14th until September 21st, 2011.

Le Laboratoire de Deberlinisation is presented and performed as part of the Global Art & the Musem (GAM) show opened Friday at ZKM in Karlsruhe. I made the videos, the 'speculative geography' maps of Africa, most of the other work is collaboration between myself and Mansour Ciss  It will run until February 5th, 2012.
