YAĞMUR UÇKUNKAYA
Lecturer
Yağmur Uçkunkaya works with AI and interdisciplinary creative practices to investigate their intersections and societal implications. She studied Medieninformatik at TU Berlin and FU Berlin, working during and after her studies at a creative AI agency where she contributed to projects integrating contemporary AI technologies into experimental collaborations. These spanned from developing anarchic vocal instruments to contributing to intelligent irrigation prediction systems for Berlin’s urban trees. Shifting focus to research, she pursued a Master’s in Design and Computation at UdK Berlin and TU Berlin, critically exploring AI imaginaries—specifically, how artistic interventions can expose and reshape narratives embedded within and surrounding AI systems. Her recent work in this area has been featured at the Ars Electronica Festival and Frankfurt Biennale.
