SAHA provides support for Pınar Yoldaş's first solo museum exhibition in the United States titled Pınar Yoldaş: Synaptic Sculpture at The Institute of Contemporary Art, San Diego between February 24 and June 23, 2024.
Drawing on her background in neuroscience and architecture, artist and UC San Diego Professor Dr. Pinar Yoldas builts an artistic practice that envisions new creations for a compassionate culture. At ICA San Diego / Central, Yoldas produces several new projects, including photo bioreactor systems that transform algae into a biodegradable plastic alternative. In addition, she debuts CATGPT –a companion video to her 2016 work, The Kitty AI - that considers the relationship between AI and human creativity. Yoldas’ work creates an immersive experience that illuminates the connections between technology, creativity, and human desire in contemporary life. This exhibition invites us to consider how desire and emotion can combine with technology to create a more just and compassionate future.
