Bager Akbay

Bager Akbay, erken yaşta pozitif bilimlerle uğraşmaya başladı. 1991 yılında Atatürk Fen Lisesinde, yüksek matematik ve programlama ile dolu üç yılın ardından kazandığı eğitim bursu sayesinde bir sene Tokyo’da okudu. İstanbul’a döndükten sonra İTÜ Matematik Mühendisliği’ne girdi. Linux ile tanıştığı okulunda, bir yandan güvenlik, ağ ve programlama üzerine çalışırken bir yandan Kara Tiyatro adlı amatör bir tiyatro grubunda oyunculuk yapmaya ve kukla oynatmaya başladı. Tiyatro deneyiminin verdiği güç ile, okulu bırakıp tasarım okumak için, Yıldız Teknik Üniversitesi’ne geçti. Programlama ile tasarımın ilişkisini keşfettiği bu yıllarda sektöre atıldı ve bir çok ajans için etkileşimli içerikler üretmeye başladı.

Mezun olur olmaz, kendi bölümünde öğretim görevlisi olarak çalışmaya başladı. 4 yıllık eğitimcilik deneyiminin ardından, Avusturya’ya dijital sanat okumaya gitti. Fiziksel etkileşim, yapay zeka ve sanat üzerine bir çok çalışma yaptı. Kızının doğumu vesilesiyle Türkiye’ye döndü ve eğitimcilik kariyerine devam etme kararı aldı. 4 sene boyunca, eğitimciliğin yanı sıra, sanat ve danışmanlık yaptı.

Yoğun bir dönemin ardından yerel biri olmaya karar verdi ve Kadıköy Yeldeğimeni’nde, projelerini hayata geçirebilmek için arkadaşlarıyla beraber bir atölye açtı.

Serkan Demir

The artist generally seeks to create a cultural map of impressions based on the political realities of the geography he inhabits. This map he relates to Eastern myth and narrative illustrates through ironic language various geographical strategies, intervention mechanisms and social practices.
The limits of faith and the transformation thereof in daily life, two of the main issues in his work, constitute the principal motifs of his artistic output in recent years.
Opting for diverse exhibition practices such as installations, moving constructions and small sculptures, the artist describes his work as texts of ‘visual investigation’.

Serkan Demir was born in 1975 in Kahramanmaraş, Göksun. He graduated from Gazi University Department of Arts and Crafts Instruction in 1999 and completed his graduate degree in Hacettepe University Faculty of Fine Arts Sculpture Department in 2003. The artist fulfilled the requirements for the Program of Competency in Art in 2009 at the same university and department, and still continues his studies as a teaching fellow at Abant İzzet Baysal University Faculty of Fine Arts.

He is the co-founder of Yaygara Current Art Initiative.
