Boyner Caddebostan Art Collection

Statement

Two participatory digital works for the Boyner Caddebostan store: AI portraits animated by visitors' chosen emotions, and a column screen where everyone can create their own star system.

01 — Gallery wall

The Empathy of Artificial Emotions — AI Portraits

Yapay Duyguların Empatisi — AI Portreler

The AI portraits are animated by kedi.ai, a face-animation tool built on a custom machine-learning model trained on 500,000 HD face videos.

Animated with emotions chosen by visitors, the AI-generated videos are first processed by a Unity shader, then broken down pixel by pixel into polygons. Finally, procedural mesh generation turns them into a moving filter displayed on the store's Gallery Wall.

02 — Column screen

Traces of the Universe — Create Your Own Star

Evrenin İzleri — Kendi Yıldızını Yarat

On the column screen on the ground floor, star maps of special days and procedural nebula simulations slowly rotate. Visitors teleport into a nebula from their phones and create a star system bearing their own name.
