VAVCD Seminar Series; Kadir Kayserilioğlu (Artist)

This session examines the visual language shared by internet art and social anxieties, with a focus on the aesthetics of liminal spaces. Kadir Kayserilioğlu will explore how these in-between environments have become a recurring motif in digital culture and what they reveal about contemporary experience. At the end of the presentation, a spatial photography workshop will be held with student participation to explore the cultural contexts of liminal space aesthetics as reflected on campus.
