Ceyda YolgörmezCA
Ceyda Yolgörmez is a postdoctoral researcher at the Indigenous Futures Research Centre at Concordia University, working in the Abundant Intelligences Research Program. Her PhD work brought together social theory and interactive technologies to create a framework for considering how our conceptions of the social are changing through human-machine relations. She works with quirky robots, old machines, broken technologies, and others that do not conform to common sense, to form a rich conception of agency and play. Often thinking through the art and technology intersection, Yolgörmez hopes to create more vocabulary around the kinds of machinic relations that contemporary moment potentiates.
