Visual artist & director Can Büyükberber (b. 1987) creates immersive audiovisual experiences that’s embodied in physical and digital spaces. His practice consists of experiments with various media such as virtual/augmented reality, projection mapping, geodesic domes, large-scale displays and digital fabrication. Driven by an interdisciplinary thinking and curiosity which extends to art, design and science, Büyükberber’s work often focuses on human perception, exploring new methods for non-linear narratives, geometrical order, synergetics and emergent forms. Aiming to build captivating and abstract universes, he uses increasingly complex structures which are perceived as a multi-sensorial feeling and turns the conceptual into the experiential, blurring the sense of scale and presence in physical and digital environments. During 2017, he has received his Master’s Degree in Art & Technology from San Francisco Art Institute as a Fulbright Scholar and he has been selected to Autodesk’s Pier 9 Residency program where he worked at one of the world’s finest workshops. In the same year, his audiovisual works that utilize geodesic domes and virtual reality headsets have toured museums, galleries and media art festivals around the world, including exhibitions and screenings at ZKM, Karlsruhe ;Ars Electronica, Linz; SAT, Montreal; Sonar D+, Barcelona; California Academy of Sciences and Exploratorium in San Francisco; Akbank Sanat, Istanbul; Art Futura, Rome; among others. In collaboration with San Francisco based studio Obscura Digital, he has art directed large scale projects that is displayed on the ceiling of historic Grand Central Terminal in New York, as well as a 60 feet tall permanent outdoor installation at MGM National Harbor near Washington, DC. which has featured site-specific iterations of selected artworks from his new series “Multiverse”. He is currently living in San Francisco, California and working on new VR/AR experiences and architectural audiovisual installations, also commissioned artwork projects similar to his recent collaboration with Dolby Labs for the Dolby Art Series.
