aylin taslak
multidisciplinary artist
Aylin Taslak (b. 1995, Istanbul) is an multidisciplinary artist working with XR technologies (VR, AR, and MR). Since 2020, she has been researching and producing art utilizing VR, MR, and AR technologies. Aylin holds both a bachelor's and a master's degree in sculpture from Mimar Sinan Fine Arts University and is currently pursuing a PhD at Istinye University in the Faculty of Communication.
During her university years, she created works in the fields of printmaking and sculpture, with her sculptures exhibited in various group exhibitions. The three-dimensional perception she gained from her traditional sculpture education has greatly contributed to her work in XR. While working with virtual reality technology, she has observed the importance of designing with the viewer’s experience in mind during the creative process. Aylin's works aim to establish a connection with the viewer and provide sensory experiences. She bases her artistic practice on transforming the concept of space into a virtual experience using the possibilities of technology.
