Irem is co-founder and a core member of capitArtX curatorial team and she takes part in the AiVERSE exhibition with her artwork Sacred Circuits:
This immersive video artwork explores the elemental journey of existence—birth as water, life as air, and death as fire, invoking the bridge of Siraat. Spiritual awareness unfolds in boundless space, awakening in earthly and underwater realms. By integrating artificial intelligence, the artist merges human experience with machine-generated metaphysical environments, inviting viewers to traverse the bridge between life, technology, and eternity.
