The third annual traditional end-of-year exhibition of Kadir Has University Visual Communication Design Department, \u201cOCULUS III: Patterns of Self,\u201d will take place at The Wall Art Gallery in Karak\u00f6y between May 30 and June 29.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Curated by Dr. \u0130pek Ye\u011fins\u00fc and academically advised by the department head Assoc. Prof. Dr. Balca Arda, the exhibition features students\u2019 works in different techniques such as typography, photography, photo manipulation, illustration, video, animation, character design and game design, which are the outputs of their creative processes that produce self-narratives. <\/p>\n\n

The exhibition explores the dimensions of the self as a fluid phenomenon through the concepts of portraiture, subjectivity-universality and time perception. The aim is for the viewer to dive into these fluid patterns and perceive the entirety of the exhibition experience as a kind of self. <\/p>\n\n

    Curation Text<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n

    As a fluid phenomenon, the self is composed of the interaction of many different dimensions, such as bodily sensations, cognitive processes, affects, awareness of the environment, objects owned, and cultural norms (Gallagher Daly 2018). However, among these, narrative has a special importance. Narrative is the basic element that connects all dimensions of the self and enables them to form a meaningful whole (Leuenberger 2022). Therefore, regardless of the nature of its patterns, each self needs to construct a self-narrative that reflects its character and core values and to be its narrator. <\/p>\n\n

    Self-narratives transform the self as they reorganize past experiences, and the exhibition focuses on the outcomes of the creative processes that produce these transformative self-narratives. Each of the works that foreground different sensory, emotional, cognitive and cultural dimensions of the self interact with each other within the exhibition space to create a spatio-temporal network. The aim is for the viewer to dive into these fluid patterns and perceive the entirety of the exhibition experience as a kind of self. <\/p>\n\n

    The exhibition\u2019s structure is based on three basic concepts: Portrait, subjectivity-universality and time perception. Portrait appears before us as a personal typography; as a silhouette or a space waiting to be resolved in photographic works; as a fable character in the Twisted Fairytales<\/em> series; and as an augmented reality-based self-portrait in the illustration series. The duality of subjectivity-universality, especially felt in Golden Record, <\/em>becomes visible in the tension between those momentary manifestations of the self, whose secret we cannot fully access, and the sensory, emotional, cognitive and cultural motifs that are familiar to us within them. Finally, the perception of time, which reaches its peak in the Dasein <\/em>video series and constantly oscillates between linearity and cyclicity, ordinariness and totality, allows us, as viewers, to become aware of the fluidity of our self-patterns.<\/p>\n\n
