Eralp Orkun Cihan
I am a multidisciplinary artist based in Berlin, merging my expertise in architecture with the dynamic worlds of digital art, interactive media, and immersive technologies. After years of working in architecture, I chose to pivot and use my software skills to explore the endless possibilities of digital creation. Now, my work spans interactive environments, audiovisual experiences, and digital films, where music, visuals, and code come together to craft unique artistic expressions.
With a focus on cutting-edge tools like TouchDesigner, Unreal Engine, Blender, and VR, I create interactive and audioreactive visuals that respond in real-time to movement and sound. These pieces often come alive in collaboration with performers, dancers, and artists, forming deeply immersive experiences that connect with the audience on an emotional and sensory level.
In recent years, I’ve expanded my practice into virtual production, previsualization, and environment design for films, bringing my vision of storytelling into the digital age. Whether through 3D artworks, virtual environments, or interactive installations, I am constantly pushing the boundaries of creativity and technology, blending the digital and physical to evoke new narratives.
My websites showcase a fusion of all these disciplines—where architecture, digital art, and immersive media coexist. I believe in the power of technology to transform the way we perceive art and space, always striving to craft experiences that resonate deeply with those who encounter them.
