Utilizing the latest technology to create a "realer than real" experience, Haluk Akakce's work stages a confrontation between artificial and organic life, suggesting both the liberating and alienating power of technology, and evoking an alternate fluid sense of space and time. According to art critic Alex Farquharson, Akakce opens a view into "a world of seemingly endless possibility where it seems one may become anything simply by believing in its possibility." |
