CURRENT MISSION

I work as research assistant and I started my PhD in fall of 2015 in field of Public Relations and Publicity. I conduct researches about good and bad sides of big data, effect of new media in communication and advertising efforts and contemporary art topics in new media.

ABOUT ME

Basicly I live in where Europe crosses with Asia: İstanbul! Sometimes it's daily routine to change continents in 15 mins and of course my soul is like my home city. This means it carries features from Europe and Asia at the same time!

Since my early youth I'm quite into web and computer based stuff. Since then, I found and red articles about those topics even if they are in a mice hole. In the mean time I was spending time in Istanbul's emerging contemporary art scene then decided to transect my interests and became co-founder of DADATART.COM , it's an awarded, web-based contemporary art project which contains news about Istanbul's art scene and artworks from all over the world.

With the help of the experience that I gained in DADATART, I worked for several companies in new media communication. Now I'm working as a research assistant and conducting various researches about similar topics.

Lastly, I lived in 2 different countries in the past: Germany and Lithuania. Because of that I know what is good beer and I know how to prevent from cold!

PHILOSOPHY

Creativity and communication have no bound.

I belive in that everything and everyone can trigger creative ideas in human mind. Of course to handle those creative ideas humanbeing must be open all of his/her communication channel. That's what I do always and what I am going to do.
