Burak Korkmaz is an interdisciplinary artist and researcher specialising in data-driven storytelling at the intersection of art, science, and technology. With over a decade of experience, his work integrates data sonification, generative art, and critical ecologies to explore pressing issues in the Anthropocene, such as climate change, biodiversity loss, and systemic environmental crises.
Burak’s artistic practice involves transforming complex datasets into immersive auditory and visual experiences, bridging the gap between scientific understanding and emotional engagement.
Resonant Realities: Sonification and the Art of Making Data Tangible in the Anthropocene
Sonification, the auditory equivalent of data visualization, offers a powerful tool for translating complex phenomena into immersive, sensory experiences. As we confront the challenges of the Anthropocene—climate change, biodiversity loss, and systemic ecological crises—sonification provides a medium that bridges scientific data and artistic expression, engaging audiences on emotional and cognitive levels.
Burak’s work explores how data sonification can reveal hidden narratives of ecological vulnerability and ethical dilemmas. The artist argues that sonification is not merely a tool for representation but a method for fostering ecological consciousness and reimagining our relationship with the natural world.
