Erdal Inci, born in Ankara, Turkey, in 1983, currently resides in Istanbul. Following his education in painting at Hacettepe University, he continues to create in various disciplines such as video, photography, photogrammetry, and digital art.
His artistic practice primarily examines public spaces and collective memory. In his video series titled “Clones Project,” he has produced video performances in public spaces and explored new possibilities of choreography.
Since 2016, the artist has been working with the collective Oddviz, which he co-founded, to work on computer-generated 3D visualization techniques. The collective continues to document objects and spaces that undergo unique transformations and inevitable changes through photogrammetry, a 3D scanning method. Under the series titled “Inventory,” they have documented thousands of street objects, facades, and spaces in cities such as Istanbul, New York, Berlin, Paris, Venice, Barcelona, Naples, Detroit, and Boston. They have produced city-specific collections, virtual installations, panoramic prints, and videos.
The artist’s personal and collective works have been featured in numerous international publications such as Times, Wired Magazine, CNN, and Vice. He has participated in various group exhibitions and festivals, including the Busan Biennale, Times Square Midnight Moment, Milan Film Festival, and Holland Animation Festival, and has made five solo exhibitions.
