Orkan Telhan designs experimental media that explore the potential of
electronic landmarks, urban interfaces, and tangible interactive sculptures
to reflect on the socio-cultural aspects of environments. These interfaces
function as social catalysts that create a network of symbolic exchanges
between places and their inhabitants and respond to various social, cultural
and political conditions. Orkan will present a survey of recent urban
interventions that comment on mobility, location, borders, language, and
identity to explore an emerging collective formed around the social
catalyst.

Orkan Telhan is a visiting scholar at the MIT Mobile Experience Lab. He
recently finished his studies at the MIT Media Lab, Sociable Media Group.
Prior to that, Orkan studied Media Arts at The State University of New York
at Buffalo..
