RE COGNITION: WHAT IS REAL?

Ars Electronica and NOISE Istanbul, with the support of the Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality, present Re Cognition – what is Real? a media art exhibition aimed at reimagining fundamental questions about reality. ÇUBUKLU SILOS, a post-industrial site situated by the Bosphorus, has been repurposed and transformed into a new media art space opening its doors for the first time on 10th of March 2024. The inaugural exhibition curated by Ars Electronica offers new perspectives on the notion of reality through the lens of media art. Nine international and local artistic positions – Atif Akin, ha:ar, Alexandra Daisy Ginsberg, nohlab, Quadrature, Shinseungback Kimyonghun, Theresa Reiwer, Universal Everything and Yatreda – give visible form to the seemingly invisible, invite into an expanded space of contemplation and thought, and create a bridge between what is and what could be. One is invited to explore territories beyond the limits of the tangible and to tap into realities perceptible in an expanded context.
