Nature cycles through seasons and days. Wheels spin and melodies repeat, encapsulated on perfectly round vinyl records. This all is reworked and replayed during dj sniff’s turnable improvisation.

Moving in a circle seemingly doesn’t lead forward. However, by disrupting the repetition cycle and reinventing the direction, Alper Çekinmez’s new kinetic device ‘Aerotrim’ suggests otherwise.

In her work ‘No Swaying, Nothing Happens 2’, Gin Kimpark focuses on the disruption of repetitiveness in the context of non-linearity of time and its subjective perception, worked into a tangible audiovisual installation.

Turntable improvisation is dj sniff’s longstanding practice that merges influences from experimental music, hip hop, and free improvisation through utilizing self-built instruments.

Alper Çekinmez’s recent works have gained attention for their humorous yet thought-provoking nature, blurring the lines between functionality and artistry. Çekinmez’s artistic journey is influenced by his upbringing, where the ethos of creating one’s versions of products or machines to foster independence deeply resonated with him.

Aerotrim

I don’t feel like I belong anywhere. Then, I belong nowhere, I should go nowhere! So I should stay. No, I should go somewhere that doesn’t exist. I tried to abstract myself from reality by losing my orientation. It feels like falling constantly.

Aerotrim is a trip round the dimensions on a freestanding metal structure resembling a gyroscope. The user is strapped inside, initiating the motion of the object and moving together with it.

Sculptures are arranged in a circle, like markers on a clock. A golden fish swims inside the installation. Her constant motion is tracked and translated to trigger the sculpture’s mechanism. Through the sounds generated in this process, the physical event of losing and recovering balance is extended from a visual experience to an auditory one.
