Nohlab’s FRACTALIZED will be on exhibition between January 18-21, 2024 within the scope of Noise Media Art, at Kadıköy City Museum.
"A constantly morphing paradox space…
Where the perception of time and space dissolves.
A future…
Where the perception of the reality as we know it intertwines with alternative realities,
Substance dissolves,
Forms reveal new possibilities..
Evolving constantly and generatively just like the formulizations in nature,
Where everything lives in interaction,
And where everything brings each other into being,
A new future and space…
Where the perception of scale is in constant change.’’

5 MOVEMENTS, was on exhibition at Hall des Lumières in New York this year. It explores the relationship of human body movements with space and time, using five different types of motion chiseled by five performers, and is inspired by many dances, from traditional tribal and ballet to street style, hip-hop and contemporary.
A condensed version of 5 MOVEMENTS can be enjoyed at Phoenix des Lumières, Dortmund, starting in January 2024.
EVERYTHING, continued to observe everything as it is, questioned all this existence and suggested new possibilities this April as a part of milan.design.week & Milan Art Week at MEET Digital Culture Center.
PRIMA MATERIA, our stereoscopic audiovisual experience based on the transformations of the pure matter, starts its screening at Shanghai’s new Deep Space 8K at West Bund Museum on January 1st 2024. It will be on exhibition until 2024, Dec 31 with the contribution of Ars Electronica Solutions.
JOURNEY, an immersive experience telling the story of a photon’s travel through the eye, started the year at Fabrique des Lumières, Amsterdam, and then moved on to Phoenix des Lumières, Dortmund. It will continue its run next year at Port des Lumières Hamburg, starting in April.
JOURNEY, as a 360 experience inside a zeppelin, is also currently part of the Superluminal exhibition at Light Art Museum Budapest, which will be on show until May, 2024.
IN-LINE v2, which gets its inspiration from the horizon line, this time was at Jerusalem Design Week / בית הנסן Hansen House in June.
A 360 version of in-line, IN-LINE v360, attended La Fête des Lumières light festival in Lyon, and will continue to tour France with two more light festivals in 2024, Constellations de Metz in Metz in June, and Chroniques in Aix en Provence in November.

Van Gogh: An Immersive Journey
Van Gogh: An Immersive Journey by Nohlab
Van Gogh’s artworks and life are transformed into an experiential storytelling in four sections, with digital interpretations and futuristic predictions.
By diving into his subconsciousness, we experience the fragments of his memory through his eyes. We chase the sun with him to the South, and watch him recreate endless scenery through his confinement window.
Through his eyes, paintings turn into living sceneries and futuristic 3D environments. Through artistic reinterpretation, his imagination creates imaginary landscapes, living paintings in which we stroll in.
Finally, a custom software categorizes and analyzes an extensive dataset of Van Gogh artworks, and AI-generated imagery is created with high-dimensional algorithms and neural networks.
Van Gogh, An Immersive Journey premiered at Royal Dublin Society, in May 2022.

IN-LINE V2, which was screened for the first time at the Intervals Festival in 2022, will meet with visitors again between 22-29 June 2023 as part of Jerusalem Design Week!
More about: nohlab.com/work/inlinev2
IN-LINE V2 is inspired by the natural phenomenon of horizon, and uses LED panels, reflective surfaces on two ends, hazer and sound to turn a limited area into a limitless space and present an everchanging time-space.
The LED panels, are used as light sources rather than displays. This makes light the main element of the installation, turning it into a form of light suspended in air. Pointy light sources in linear flow come together in variable timings and complex forms. These forms derive various possibilities in synergy, letting various patterns come to life. The final structure manifested as a result of this process harbors both the order and the disorder, letting these two concepts call each other into being.

Nohlab's immersive experience "5 Movements" continues at Hall des Lumières, New York!
More about: nohlab.com/work/5movements
"5 Movements" is a 10 minute immersive audiovisual experience, exploring the relationship of human body movements with space and time, using five different types of motion chiseled by five performers. By capturing fleeing phases of performers’ movements in succeeding phases of motion, the emotion and essence of each motion is incorporated in three dimensions. The experience itself connects the dots between traces of movements, a phenomena that human senses are most often unable to perceive in real time.
Inspired by several different types of dance from traditional tribal dances and ballet to street style, hip-hop and contemporary performances, five movements of music unify various beats of the world, including African, Contemporary Classic, Electronica, Instrumental Hip-hop and Asian.

Nohlab's 2022 Recap
It’s the time of the year for Nohlab ’s 2022 recap. We sincerely thank all our collaborators and audience for joining us this year.
Our newest immersive experience, 5 MOVEMENTS, is on exhibition at Hall des Lumières in New York until July 2023. It explores the relationship of human body movements with space and time, using five different types of motion chiseled by five performers, and is inspired by many dances, from traditional tribal and ballet to street style, hip-hop and contemporary.
Nohlab’s solo immersive exhibition was at RDS, Dublin between May and August. VAN GOGH: AN IMMERSIVE JOURNEY premiered in the exhibition, and had Van Gogh’s artworks and life transformed into an audiovisual storytelling in four parts, where artworks turn into living sceneries and futuristic 3D environments, with an AI analyzing over 2.000 artworks and generating imagery in Van Gogh style.
Also exhibited Van Gogh Dublin RDS in Dublin, EVERYTHING, observed everything as it is, questions all this existence and suggests new possibilities, also as a part of Noor Riyadh Festival in Riyadh, November.
JOURNEY, an immersive experience telling the story of a photon’s travel through the eye, still is on exhibition at Fabrique des Lumières, Amsterdam, after its run at Dublin.
IN-LINE v2, an updated version of the original installation inspired by the horizon line, became more immersive with 31m LED panels on both sides and 6m height mirrors on both ends, and attended the Intervals Festival at TSEH in August.
PRIMA MATERIA, our stereoscopic audiovisual experience based on the transformations of the pure matter, was screened in 3D as a part of Reflektor Finland, Finland in October.
More footage coming in 2023 for:
The Islamic Civilizations Museum in Istanbul opened this April, with five of Nohlab’s installations, one of which is the large scale immersive experience AB-I HAYAT.

Nohlab’s new immersive exhibition is now open in Dublin, Ireland. Staying open until August 4 at RDS [Royal Dublin Society, Hall 2], the exhibition includes the immersive narrative EVERYTHING, and the award-winning JOURNEY, as well as a brand new experience in collaboration with Theatre of Light [#theatreoflight], VAN GOGH: AN IMMERSIVE JOURNEY.
Experience Duration: 40 min.
JOURNEY is an immersive audiovisual experience telling the story of photons, primary elements of light, from the moment they approach the eye until the brain reconstructs them into perceivable forms.
VAN GOGH: AN IMMERSIVE JOURNEY, transforms Van Gogh’s artworks and life into an audiovisual storytelling in four parts, with digital interpretations and futuristic predictions. Starting from inside his subconsciousness, we travel and experience the world with Van Gogh, and through his eyes, paintings turn into living sceneries and futuristic 3D environments. Finally, an AI analyzes over 2.000 Van Gogh artworks, and generates imagery in his style with high-dimensional algorithms and neural networks.
EVERYTHING observes everything as it is, questions all this existence and suggests new possibilities in three parts. Through the eyes of a living being who follows the storyline with us, we submerge into a three-part audiovisual narration where science, philosophy and metaphysics converge.

EVERYTHING by Nohlab
Nohlab's new immersive experience EVERYTHING was on exhibition at Atelier des Lumières & Bassins des Lumières in 2021.
EVERYTHING observes everything as it is, questions all this existence and suggests new possibilities in three parts.
Through the eyes of a candid narrator, who follows the storyline in sync with us, visuals & sound follow a narrative where science, philosophy and metaphysics converge. We observe elements that construct what we call our lives and ways of ascribing meanings to things. This way we can grasp how the vast system of existence enveloping us is prone to many questions.
Shouldn’t we yet start pondering upon what already is? Can we really perceive all there is with our limited senses? Are we at the very end of evolution? Could the system of life we built be not only 0’s or 1’s? Are we held back and entrapped by systems we created? Do we really have free will?. Maybe this is only a contingency which our subconscious and evolutionary process carried us to. Shouldn’t we extend the limits of our awareness yet?
What then, could we become? Embracing how much we don’t know might lead us to accept becoming in a constant state of transformation and probabilities. With numerous layers we can neither perceive nor think about with our limited capabilities, there’s still a lot to discover and be fascinated about.

Nohlab 2021
A brief selection from Nohlab ’s 2021:
Nohlab's experiential exhibition FLOW, an expedition through time, was open to the public İstanbul Atatürk Kültür Merkezi, for Beyoğlu Kültür Yolu. An immersive experience in 3 parts, it brought the past, present and future together.
First section GATE, formed by light rods, invited people in with a special light and sound choreography, representing our memories about the space. With MOMENT, visitors found the chance to experience the moment they are in, through twin LED tower corridors they pass. At the end of the journey, TRACE offered an interactive experience area, where people guide the sound and visuals representing the future with their own body movements.
Nohlab’s new immersive experience EVERYTHING, still observes everything as it is, questions all this existence and suggests new possibilities at Atelier des Lumières and Bassins De-Lumières More documentation coming soon.
CYCLE, a public outdoor mapping at Église de la Madeleine (Aix-en-Provence), supported by Chroniques and Aix ma ville focused on how repeating behavioural patterns form a cycle of existence.
JOURNEY, an immersive experience telling the story of a photon’s travel through the eye, still is on exhibition at OASIS immersion, Montreal Canada.
Keep tuned for 2022!

CYCLE
Nohlab’s CYCLE was part of the Révélations, at Église de la Madeleine (Aix-en-Provence) in December.
CYCLE is a four-part audiovisual experience, which focuses on how entities in the universe generate, emerge, adapt, mutate and continue their perpetual existence in a loop, a natural and constant process. Mixing and showcasing several mechanisms of both living and inanimate elements, CYCLE shows how certain repeating behavioral patterns of things are essential to continue this cycle of existence.
Inspiration lies particularly in John Horton Conway’s Game of Life theory, the theory of primordial particle systems, emergent life systems, simple structures building complex ones, as well as biotechnology and synthetic evolution. Self-structuring patterns grow in a synchronized manner all over the universe, from molecules and one-cell organisms, to galaxies and living matter. Micro to macro pattern in the universe exactly resembles the patterns in living organisms.
Emergent cells have a custom cycle of life, leading the cells to adapt, re-shape, and mutate on the path of evolution. This repeats in synthesized life-like forms as well. Result is never a simple copy; rather an entity with properties that its parts do not have on their own. What has become, is not the same as what was, but carries all their identity in the core all at once, all pointing to a similar concept of natural evolution, a cycle, which re-starts the moment it ends.
