media rules the world, a photo from Istanbul, Marmara

Photographer's Note

We all know the saying; "whoever owns the media rules the world". The media is powerful. A dead person can become a living person. A black cat can become a white cat. If you own the media, you control what you want people to think.
But perhaps someone forgotten that the media can no longer belongs to one person.
And that if you say the person is alive, there will be tons of people out there trying to prove that the person is dead. And if you said the cat is white, there will be millions of pictures showing that the cat is indeed black.
Welcome to the new media. Censorship doesn't apply here anymore. If it does, then you surely won't make it pass your scissors...

...taken at the "Uncharted: User Frames in Media Arts" exhibition at SantralIstanbul... the artwork was the "Floating Identities" by Frank den Oudsten...

(SantralIstanbul'daki "Haritasız" sergisinde çekildi. "Yüzer Kimlikler" isimli eser Frank den Oudsten'e ait.)

wow ...superb one. I like the contrast between the static and the movement.
Superb ghosts : )
The exhibtion seems to be interesting.

Görüntüye bakınca, bu tür mekânlarda fotoğraf çekmeyi sevenler için tam da biçilmiş kaftan olan Lizbon'daki Berardo sergisi aklıma geldi.

Not ve fotoğrafın birbirini güzel tamamladığı, farklı, sıradışı bir çalışma olmuş. Tebrikler.

ribeiroantonio (22730) 2009-05-08 16:20

And the media is also responsible for the scariest stories in the world.
Your shot is wonderful and extremely dynamic with the blurred people passing by the “things” with human aspect. It must be a very interesting exhibition. Well done.
Antonio

Hi korkut

A nice juxtapositiong of the 2 sharp silhouetted sculptures, & the 2 motion blurred people. Excellent graphism & framing. Tfs!

Hi Korkut,

Merhaba Korkut,
İlginç bir eser ve güzel bir bakış açısıyla yansıtmışsın, ışık açısından oldukça zor bir kare ön planın kranlığı ve arka planda parlayan ışık huzmesi fakat yinede fazla bir sorun yaratmamış.
Selamlar

Hello korkut. Fantastically. The art works very alive. The static and the moving figures are interesting. Very skillful composition and best light. Very beautifully. Best regards, Wolfgang.

Selam sevgili Korkut,
Bu "Santral" iş'i de çok güzel.
Ön plandaki objelerin duragan hali ile arkadaki ziyaretçilerin dinamizm'i güzel bir denge oluşturmuş.
Zor ışık koşullarına karşın güzel bir çalışma.
Bir de karşı duvardaki diagonal ışık huzmesi mükemmel bir şekilde sahneyi bölüyor.
Gözüne gönlüne sağlık.
Tebrikler
Selam ve sevgiler
MESUT ILGIM

Hello,Komshi,
Very well said and the photo is full of dynamism, so akin to our times.
Excellent implication of the bonds of times.
The figure of the man in the middle made me think at first about the ancient figure of the disc thrower:)

Hello Korkut,
Superb job !
I like a lot the sharp shadow against the dynamics of the people.
A very good one,
Have a nice day,
JB.

riclopes (35577) 2009-05-09 1:30

Seem like a dangerous room, krkt. Those red boxes connected to the 'robots' with yellow wires make me think of terrorism instead of media. Very original interior once again. Excellent use of that beam of light. Good that you were well hidden in the dark...

Hi korkut
I read that the "Uncharted" exhibition includes a selection of contemporary artworks involving the large-scale use of digital and interactive media, and is of great interest is a good idea to show here! Excellent work..

hi korkut
certainly a very interesting exhibition, modern , surrealistic and original, the difference with the human beings is , if you cut the umbilical cord, these things should die.

Warmest greetings from France.

Superb use of lights and genteel hues. I like the balance and I like the way you have nuanced the softness of this amazingly beautiful capture Korkut

azaf1 (15931) 2009-05-11 3:25

The mass media is the new face of elimination of individual rights in our modern world. In those days you would be punished for expressing your opinion in public but today nobody cares since the news is pouring in at a speed you can no longer handle and the m.m. make sure you hear only what they want you to. Let's see how we will handle this situation. Regards to that lovely mother of your son with my best wishes, belated, on Mother's Day.

Merhaba Korkut,

You play excellent with light and dark parts, this gives a nice combination, good experimental picture.
Compositon and presentation are superb.
Very well done, TFS.

Best regards,

jafadabret (56501) 2009-05-11 5:23

Bonjour Korkut.
Ta photo est superbe pour transmettre l'émotion ressentie devant cette exposition sur l'art des médias. La frontière entre le réel et le virtuel n'existe plus pour certains et ils en arrivent à des actes déments.
Cela fait froid dans le dos !

Your suject here is prfound and striking.

Sabah sabah milletin Ankara fotoğraflarını gördüm canım sıkıldı, senin Santral karelerinle kendimi avutmaya çalışıyorum.
Bu tiplerle ben de çok uğraşmıştım ama birşeye benzememişler. Seninki başlık ve notla birlikte baya güzel olmuş. Mesaj kaygılı, içerikli bir kareye dönüşüvermiş.
Ellerine sağlık...
...biz de Ankara'ya mı gitsek acaba?...

Dpbours (222) 2009-05-12 7:36

Hello Korkut,

That is an interesting image!! And an interesting idea behind the contraption. Ore an interesting idea you have about it ;-).
Haha, I like the comment about censorship 'And if it does, then you surely won't make it pass your scissors...'. It is interesting to see how 'natural' it is for us to not have censorship! I just came from Myanmar and I can tell you that not having it passing by is not an option... ;-)

Greetings! Dennis

Merhaba,

En son surada kalmistik:

Ben:'Sanki tek tek fotograflarla hicbir sey söylemiyorken, hepsi bir arada dusunuldugunde söylemek istedigin bir sey var gibi....sanki cözecegim :)'

Cevap:'Bakalim hangimiz önce çözecegiz >:P..."

Sanki cözdüm:

'Silence like a cancer grows,
and noone dares to disturb the sound of silence'

Selamlar, sevgiler.

patdeph (35750) 2009-05-12 11:05

hello Korkut
splendid shot,where the statues seems to be more living than the people which appear like phantoms!I paricularly like the statue that seems do dive in the ray of light!The colours and the light are fantastic!A great picture!

Korkut,
it seems that we got a new "Rigoletto" here at TE. That shot reminds me a lot of our old common 'friend of the darks'. By the way, when is he back?
Genious image and well fitting text. I wonder what goes through your mind when you're openning up people in the OR. :-)

Hi Korkut,
A really impressive shot. Where is the truth, where is the alsehood?
To whom did we decide to turn projectors today?
I feel "out of focus "in this world as the men who pass in your photo's background.
Great!
Congratulations

Merline (0) 2009-05-15 19:12

A very frightening prospect Korkut, specially my black cat doesn't want to become white ! I protest :-).
But a most interesting set of things you show here, some move, some don't, some are true, some not. Looks like an interesting exhibition. Your POV kind of puts you in the part of these strange men move, are you one of them ? :). Do you think housecleaning would be part of the project ? Well done, it's food for thought for sure.

Have a great weekend dear friend

Smart note, smart ( if not slightly weirdly) photo...

The mass media are lying (???).
How many times I heard that quote before ?

And, every time I asked my interlocutor:
Oh, yeah ? Prove it, buddy boy... Just prove it and then sell your proof to another mass media mogul and you'll be a millionaire - instantly ! :-)))

You can't even decently lie in this crazy world of ours - do you ?

That sobering truth applies even to those trashy gossip magazines which lie constantly about whatever( they make a living out of lying )
But, what kind of a lie is that if only an idiot can believe in it ? :-)))

Good stuff, Korkut.
