What if art could shape the way we think about the future—our brains, our environment, and even artificial intelligence?
In her latest exhibition Synaptic Sculpture at ICA, Pinar Yoldas,Ph.D., explores these questions through a stunning fusion of digital tools, biotechnology, and speculative design. From sculptures that mirror the brain’s evolving neural connections to AI-driven storytelling and biodegradable architecture, her work challenges us to reconsider the relationship between technology, nature, and human experience.
One of the exhibition’s highlights is Kitty AI, a thought-provoking piece where an artificial intelligence—embodied as a cat—governs the world, raising questions about emotion, control, and the future of machine intelligence. Another section, Biodegradable Futures, envisions sustainable solutions by integrating algae photobioreactors into architecture, emphasizing our urgent need for ecological innovation. Through digital animations, CNC-fabricated sculptures, and interactive installations, Yoldas’ work offers a glimpse into possible futures while creating an inviting and thought-provoking atmosphere.
This exhibition isn’t just about science or aesthetics—it’s about reshaping the way we perceive our technological and biological landscapes. Whether you’re curious about AI, fascinated by biotech, or simply love art that makes you think, dive into the world of Pinar Yoldas through this short video.
