Digital Twin / Tarabya, interactive 3d environment, 2020 ongoing 9 images _IMG_5114 _IMG_5092 IMG_5102 _Screenshot-2021-09-10-at-16.17.41 _IMG_5070 _Screenshot-2021-09-11-at-11.41.59 _IMG_5082 plan

The 3d environment rebuilds the German embassy ground in Tarabya, Istanbul that is currently used as a residence for artists based in Germany. Started during the pandemic, the interactive model aimed to respond to the situation in isolation and to attempt a virtual escape. It turns into a phantom-like doppelganger addressing Tarabya’s colonial history and present, its relationship to the current city, its borders, as well as its potentials.

The digital model can be visited and explored through an avatar, similar to a computer game. It is open source and accessible online and it will keep on evolving. In the current state, it includes contributions by ten artists, activists, and cultural workers based in Turkey. Visitors are invited to move through the environment and intervene while sketching, commenting, or placing objects.
