Volkan Dinçer’s work focuses on inter-system relations and ecological questions within a broad research field ranging from perception tendencies to symbiotic relationships. Dinçer primarily produces his own electronic systems using various digital tools such as low-level electronics, video, animation and sometimes combines them with living materials usually for blurring the boundaries between the systems and producing some questions in this way.
