Art On Istanbul presents Görkem Tekdal’s solo exhibition Experiential Manifesto at Art On Pera from October 14 – November 4, 2023.
Experiential Manifesto aims to erase the boundaries between art and technology. The universal
language of art has always been a tool to express thought and emotion. By reflecting the inner worlds of iindividuals, art offers new perspectives, and in this context, Experiential Manifesto celebrates this power of art in a captivating way.
In this series, Görkem Tekdal explores how concepts such as power, art, death, rebellion, love, money, and loneliness can be expressed through art, combining photorealistic visuals with AI-animated videos and accompanying text. Each work depicts a distinct idea, making every piece in the exhibition a living portrait of a thought, completed by its narrative video counterpart.
The Experiential Manifesto collection speaks a new language of art. This creative approach seeks to materialize ideas and establish an intimate connection with the viewer, inviting them to explore the power of thoughts and concepts. An augmented reality application reveals the subtitles of each piece, allowing the audience to experience a conceptual completion and deeper engagement with the ideas presented.
