Artist Bio

Visual artist and director Can Buyukberber creates immersive audiovisual experiences that bridge both physical and digital spaces. His practice encompasses experiments with various media, including virtual/augmented reality, projection mapping, geodesic domes, large-scale displays, and digital fabrication.

Fueled by interdisciplinary thinking and curiosity that extends to art, design, and science, Buyukberber's work frequently delves into human perception. He explores innovative methods for non-linear narratives, geometrical order, synergetics, and emergent forms. Aiming to craft captivating and abstract realms, he employs increasingly intricate structures that resonate as multi-sensorial experiences, transforming the conceptual into the experiential and blurring the sense of scale and presence across physical and digital environments.

With a background in Physics and Visual Communication Design (BA), he earned his Master of Fine Arts (MFA) Degree in Art & Technology from the San Francisco Art Institute as a Fulbright Scholar. Buyukberber has been chosen for Autodesk’s Pier 9 and Adobe's Augmented Reality Artist Residencies, where he worked in state-of-the-art workshops to produce avant-garde XR projects. His audiovisual pieces, which utilize geodesic domes, virtual reality headsets, and architecture, have been showcased in museums, galleries, and media art festivals globally. These include exhibitions and screenings at venues like ZKM, Karlsruhe; Ars Electronica, Linz; SAT, Montreal; Sonar D+, Barcelona; California Academy of Sciences, Exploratorium, and Dolby Gallery in San Francisco; Akbank Sanat, Istanbul; Art Futura, Rome; BFI Film Festival, London; MUTEK.JP, Tokyo; and ZeroSpace, New York City. He has also collaborated with notable musical artists, including the Grammy-Award winning rock band Tool, Shigeto, and the Czech Philharmonic Orchestra.
