Ekin Bozkurt

Sono ua artista-designer multimediale di Istanbul, attualmente basato a Milano, con un background diversificato nell'arte sonora, nell'urbanistica e nell'architettura del paesaggio. Utilizzo varie tecniche multimediali per arricchire la narrazione e l'interazione, esplorando la creatività e la fluidità negli spazi pubblici, negli elementi urbani, nei movimenti della danza, nella percezione dei sentimenti, degli oggetti e nelle espressioni quotidiane.

Ho conseguito una laurea magistrale in Arte del Suono presso l'Università di Barcellona, dove ho acquisito un'ampia esperienza nella creazione e nel design del suono. Il mio progetto di tesi, "Movimento dell'Arte del Suono per Spazi Creativi", è un progetto di ricerca basato sulla pratica che indaga sulle proprietà acustiche dei camini industriali.

Ho realizzato varie installazioni e performance, composto brani sonori in collaborazione con istituzioni come Hangar e Convent de Sant Agusti a Barcellona, Casa degli Artisti, Zona K (con la collaborazione di Rimini Protokoll) a Milano e Salt a Istanbul. Da un po' di tempo, sto integrando l'arte 3D e il design nei miei lavori.
