Entanglements of Human, Nature, Machine
Key Details
🗓️ Date:
16 September – 31 October 2026
📍Location:
Vault level, Kasa Gallery, Istanbul
Visitor Experience
- Immersion in layered soundscapes and shifting visual environments
- Reorientation as familiar boundaries between natural and artificial blur
- Connection to nonhuman rhythms
The exhibition features artists working with mediums rooted in time, movement, and transformation: sound, video, installation, and performance. Through these practices, visitors are invited into immersive environments that shift perception and offer alternative ways of sensing the world.
Rather than presenting static objects, the works unfold dynamically, echoing the rhythms of living systems, digital processes, and human gesture. Together, they
explore how artists navigate the complex entanglements between human, nature, and machine, proposing a symbiotic world shaped by interdependence and continual exchange.
More About ‘The Vaults’
In the hidden depths of Kasa Gallery’s underground vaults, Symbolic Vault: Entanglements of Human, Nature, Machine invites visitors into a space where human, nature, and machine intersect. Once built to protect material wealth, the Vault now holds immaterial forms of value: sound, memory, organic patterns, and digital minds.
Each artist navigates a different dimension of this entanglement, from biological systems and ecological soundscapes to machine intelligence and algorithmic collaboration. The result is a multi-sensory environment where images move, sounds shift, and meaning emerges in constant flux. In this vault, nothing is fixed.
Featured Artists
Ecem Dilan Köse | Conceptual digital artist, Turkey
Ecem Dilan Köse is a Turkish conceptual digital artist whose work bridges organic textures and digital data. She integrates her architectural knowledge into her art, which encompasses digital installations, AI, VR, AR, and audio-visual performances. Her work explores the interplay between organic textures and digital data, often delving into existential themes and the essence of life.
Rebecca Najdowski | Multi-media artist, Australia
Rebecca Najdowski is an American/Australian artist whose work examines imaging technologies, the mediation of nature, and visualisations of the climate emergency. Rebecca engages with the material and political implications of representing nature through photographic technologies. Using analog and digital materials — often counter to their intended use — her artworks offer alternative modes to habitual ways of seeing, and sensing, more-than-human nature.
Paulo Arraiano | Interdisciplinary artist, Portugal
Paulo Arraiano is a visual artist whose practice explores the intersections of body, landscape, and technology. Paulo’s research relates to the idea of visual seismography, assessing surges concerning new natural, social and cultural paradigms. This artistic production interweaves with his research which involves matter and antimatter, and engages the body, the landscape and technology to address questions concerning climate changes, biosphere, extinction, transhumanism and the anthropocene.
Be inspired, consider new ways of sensing and thinking. Reflect on the meanings and implications of interdependence, ecology, and technology. Be a part of a cross-disciplinary conversation between art, ecology, and technology. Gain a new understanding about critical discussions around climate, AI, and post-human futures; through empathy, awareness, and new forms of entangled thinking rooted in interdependence and symbiosis.
Visit Kasa Gallery’s Symbolic Vault to experience an unforgettable, multi-sensory, immersive exhibition that challenges perceptions of human, nature, and machine relationships.
