Is it a problem that needs to be solved? Or a connector that binds the torn? Can it be both? The only way to bind what only seems bonded in the surface is to cut even deeper. While “The Knot Theory” analyzes the surface and below the surface sides of incidents and relations, it is affected by the mathematical theory of Koningsberg’s Seven Bridges, a surgery, absurd theater, and the probabilities that interactive technologies create. When communication webs that consist of disconnected pieces are connected in different ways can they cause variant outcomes? “The Knot Theory” is a search with body language that goes deep in a well of possibilities.

This work in progress has been developed at Absent Interfaces Lab in Tanz Quartier (Wien), artist residency at L’animal a l’esquena (Spain) and rehearsals at Bilgi University (Istanbul).
Technical Implementation:
Sound: First scene of the play opens with a tension between two performers on stage. As along with the same attitude, a generative sound composition is autoplaying according to an algorithm developed with MaxMSP, tuning various piano arpeggios. Paralel with the piano, random FM radio stations disolve into tension. First scene releases itself with high reverberation of the sounds of tension. Later during the performance, a minimum approach is acted with capturing tiny bits of sounds generated with performers physical interactions with physical surfaces, and manipulating them to enlarged bodies. Improvised sound manipulation creates a new dimension into play.
Interactive Video: A webcam mounted on top of the stage was focused to performers action on a table that is placed in center. Operator can do realtime videocapturing and playbacking with stored motion captures.

New Electronic Music // Noise TV
New Electronic Music is a series of concerts organized by santralmuzik. I had participated with my composition named; “noiseTV”. The music is composed with using two record players where one of the needles jumps repeatedly over a strip on the record that brings about a rhythmic progression. All sound material is processed with a Max/MSP patch, applying spectral, comb filtering, granular synthesizing methods.

International Street & Open-Air Festival Feta
International Street & Open-Air Festival Feta
Sonic Performance
Performed at Gdansk, Poland
August 2003
International Street & Open Air Festival FETA is one of the biggest of its kind in Central – Eastern Europe. This year’s FETA was held on 14th – 17th August 2003 in Gdansk, Poland. Sabanci University VACD instructor Wieslaw Zaremba had choosen 5 students (Deniz Gül, Hayal Pozantı, Orçun Gögüs, Deniz Erk, Ege Kanar) and a ballet (Gizem Tokgoz) for creating an interdisciplinary art performance. During the performance students from the drawing studio had painted a drawing on a 2.5 x 20 meters canvas with the participation of a professional dancer who had combined classic ballet and modern dance accompanied by the laptop performance of the sound designer Selcuk Artut (Replikas). The process of drawing was conducted both by the students and the dancer. The students had the opportunity to ask the dancer to stand/perform in a certain fashion while the opposite had also taken place: the dancer had changed her position on her own according to the way he drawing was progressing. With the participation of the Sabanci University VACD instructor Selcuk Artut in developng a sound space, the event had gained further distinctive identity in the festival. The sound space was generated live with an amplified stetescope attached to the body of the ballet in order to capture the heartbeat sounds of the ballet during the performance. In this manner the process had bordered on a different sort of art which combined theater, sound and drawing.
