Ecem Dilan Köse is a conceptual contemporary artist based in Istanbul whose practice bridges architecture, generative art, and digital media. With roots in interior architecture and environmental design, she creates immersive works that explore the interplay between organic textures and digital data, dissolving the traditional boundaries between the natural and the technological.
Her artistic approach is guided by a search for unity and interconnectedness. By weaving digital systems with natural rhythms, Ecem develops a holistic style that challenges rigid dualities and invites audiences to experience information as a living, fluid whole. Her works span digital installations, generative marbling, AI and VR environments, sculpture, and audiovisual performances—each offering new ways to reimagine how technology and nature can coexist in harmony.
Her work has also been presented widely on the international stage, including Art Dubai, Milan Design Week, the Çanakkale Biennial, the International Mediations Biennale, Contemporary Istanbul, Sonar Festival, and the BIO50 Design Biennial in Slovenia, as well as public installations across New York, Tokyo, Seoul, and Leipzig. These projects reflect both her global reach and her commitment to creating art that resonates across cultures and contexts.
Through her forward-looking, interdisciplinary approach, Ecem Dilan Köse invites audiences to engage with immersive environments where nature, technology, and consciousness converge—opening new possibilities for how we see, feel, and connect with the world.
