LO 02: Memo Akten – Circa 2018/2019

Memo Akten is a computational artist whose work revolve around converting data into speculative videos through generative design. One of his projects titled Cicra is a video essay that revolves around interconnectedness of algorithms and human existence in this world. Most of the generative artists work with video and sound to produce an atmosphere. The most I admire about Akten’s work is the storytelling along with the stitched snippets of videos which are algorithmically generated, which emphasizes the human-machine relationship.
