[ Kontact ]Installation (video), 5'36"

The work approaches the archive not as the chronological record of a company, but as a record of its shifting forms of contact with society and culture over the years. Visual, textual, and auditory data from Garanti BBVA's 80-year archive were processed through artificial intelligence-based analytical methods, then transformed into a multilayered memory environment.

Thousands of archival materials were reclassified through semantic relationships, textual content, color, composition, and motion data, and reconstructed as a semantic map — forming the basis of a spatial experience structured across four screen surfaces around the concepts of memory, analysis, narrative, contact, and transformation.

The AI-driven installation offers a sensory experience interweaving data visualization, motion graphics, and spatial sound design. The work explores ways of perceiving archival data and engaging with it in new forms.
