With a punk rock spirit and “less is bore” ethos, VAMK creates disruptively nostalgic art that revels in dead tech we used to worship and 90s popular culture maximalism. Rendered in glitchy 1-bit thresholdy Macintosh-era aesthetics, his black and white works pack minimalist meaning within a maximalist facade. Inspired by 90s, skateboarding, heavy metal music, and internet culture, VAMK’s eerie, creepy cute works breathes new life into extinct technologies through motion graphics. He walks the line between paying homage to and upending nostalgia.
Beyond his personal practice, VAMK actively supports emerging artists as the co-founder of two art collectives, Kr0wd for up and coming digital artists, and Kruw, consisting of 20 of Turkey's most ambitious traditional creators. These initiatives demonstrate VAMK's commitment to empowering arts communities and love of always creating together with like minded people.
