“Islam, Republic, Neoliberalism” is the latest project from Burak Arikan, Istanbul based artist working with complex networks.
Project comprises of three network maps where mosques, republican monuments/ museums and shopping centers dispersed throughout Istanbul connect to each other within their areas of influence. These maps present a comparative display of network patterns that are formed through associations linking those architectural structures that represent the three dominant ideologies –Islam, Republic, Neoliberalism– in Turkey.
The image above shows the Network of Mosques connected through overlapping call to prayer sounds of 3000+ mosques in Istanbul. Project has been shown at Istanbul Design Biennial, 2012. Read more about the project on his blog.
