Orkan Telhan designs experimental media that explore
the potential of electronic landmarks, urban interfaces, and tangible
interactive sculptures to reflect on the socio-cultural aspects
of environments. These interfaces function as social catalysts
that create a network of symbolic exchanges between places and
their inhabitants and respond to various social, cultural and
political conditions. Telhan will present a survey of recent urban
interventions that comment on mobility, location, borders, language,
and identity to explore an emerging collective formed around the
social catalyst.
Orkan Telhan is a visiting scholar at the MIT Mobile
Experience Lab. He recently finished his studies at the MIT Media
Lab, Sociable Media Group. Prior to that, Orkan studied Media
Arts at The State University of New York at Buffalo.
