internationally renowned for projects including the istanbul museum of modern art and atatürk cultural center, tabanlioglu architects designed the installation. this comprises of a series of rectangular light panels hanging from the ceiling, covered by aqua creations’ pleated silk in “coal” color. aqua creations’ founder and creative director albi serfaty designed a specially commissioned, square-shaped video art pendant lamp (val). invited by tepta to curate the video art concept, albi serfaty created a video that utilizes a patented addressable rgb led technology and miniaturised micro-computing.
