XMAM breaks new ground in Turkey
As the first museum in this field in Turkey, X Media Art Museum opened under the leadership of DasDas, which has previously hosted works combining artificial intelligence and arts in the Parallel Universe exhibition. “Leonardo Da Vinci: Artificial Intelligence, The Wisdom of Light/Humanity and Metaverse from CERN to NASA” by Ferdi Alıcı will be the first exhibition to be held at XMAM, which will offer different experiences to its visitors using extended reality.
Alıcı made the following statements regarding XMAM’s first exhibition: “In these works, we aim to use digital data as paint and algorithms as a brush, redefine the future of arts, and establish original connections between the physical world and the digital world. The exhibition ‘Leonardo Da Vinci: Artificial Intelligence, The Wisdom of Light/Humanity and Metaverse from CERN to NASA’ was created using data from art history. In the exhibition, which starts with the drawings by Leonardo Da Vinci and continues with their 3D modelling, the inventions, machinery drawings, and sketches of the artist are used as a database.”
