VOID

What VOID does

VOID is a new media studio founded in 2015 (per its earliest documented project at Currents New Media Festival) and based in Kadikoy, Istanbul, Türkiye. It conceptualizes and produces immersive experiences, large-scale projection mapping shows, and audio/visual performances at the intersection of technology, science, and philosophy. The studio's work is delivered as one-off artistic commissions at cultural institutions and corporate venues; the portfolio spans flagship immersive exhibitions (EVERYTHING, The Journey of Being at Atelier des Lumières), architectural mapping (LINES on the Palace of Parliament in Bucharest — billed as the biggest projection mapping show in history, using 104+ projectors and 2,000,000+ ANSI lumens over 23,000 m²), public art installations (WDCH Dreams at Walt Disney Concert Hall, Interconnected CLT, Virtual Depictions: San Francisco), and corporate visual content (Ocean Engine Awards, Doğuş Group's Story of Storytelling). Underlying technical capabilities include multi-projector alignment at extreme scale, parametric data sculpture and visualization, spatial/8-channel sound design, and conceptual translation of machine learning and neural-network themes into abstract visual narratives.

VOID operates a project-based revenue model, generating income through bespoke commissions for cultural institutions, public art programs, and corporate clients. Projects are sourced via direct sales, festival participation, and collaborations with established media artists and studios — most notably a sustained core partnership with Refik Anadol Studio (which contributed to multiple flagship projects) and additional co-productions with Nohlab Studio, CHiEEN, and TATU Creative Studios. The studio has delivered projects across at least eight countries (Türkiye, France, Austria, USA, South Korea, Romania, China, Ireland) and markets primarily through its online portfolio (bevoid.co), Vimeo, Behance, and Instagram channels, with mid-funnel credibility generated through festival appearances and bottom-funnel demand generated via referral partnerships. VOID is privately held, employs approximately 19 people, has no disclosed funding or parent company, and is led by co-founder directors Bahadır Dağdelen and Yusuf Emre Kucur.

Core offering

VOID is a new media studio that designs and produces immersive A/V performances, large-scale projection mapping shows, and generative art installations for cultural institutions, public venues, and corporate clients. Each engagement is a custom-commissioned installation that explores themes at the intersection of technology, science, and philosophy, often visualizing AI/machine-learning concepts through abstract artistic interpretations on architectural surfaces and immersive venues.

Product overview

VOID is a new media studio specializing in immersive experiences, projection mapping, and A/V performances. The company offers a portfolio of distinct artistic projects including large-scale immersive exhibitions (EVERYTHING, The Journey of Being), architectural projection mapping (LINES, ABYSMAL), public art installations (WDCH Dreams, Virtual Depictions, Interconnected CLT), FullDome presentations (BIO-INSPIRE), and LED installations (Ocean Engine Awards, Story of Storytelling, Wind of Boston). Key technical offerings include projection mapping at unprecedented scales (up to 104 projectors, 2 million ANSI lumens), machine learning-driven data visualization, spatial sound design, and parametric data sculptures. Projects are typically one-off artistic commissions at prestigious venues rather than recurring product lines.
