Refik Anadol, an internationally renowned media artist and director, joins Behind the Tech to discuss his journey from a childhood fascination with computers in Istanbul to becoming a pioneer in the aesthetics of data and machine intelligence. In this episode, Refik shares his early inspirations—including his first encounter with a Commodore computer and the impact of science fiction on his imagination—and discusses how his work explores the intersection of art and technology.  Kevin and Refik delve into the challenges and possibilities that ubiquitous computing has imposed on humanity, and how the perception and experience of time and space are radically changing in the digital age. They explore Refik's innovative projects, such as data-driven machine learning algorithms that create abstract, colorful environments and his immersive audio/visual installations that transform entire buildings. They also discuss the significance of AI in art, the concept of 'data painting,' and the future of digital art in a rapidly evolving technological landscape.  Learn more and support these organizations in North Carolina:  <ul class="BulletListStyle1 SCXW189921647 BCX0" role="list"> <li class="OutlineElement Ltr SCXW189921647 BCX0" role="listitem" data-leveltext="" data-font="Symbol" data-listid="2" data-list-defn-props= "{"335552541":1,"335559685":720,"335559991":360,"469769226":"Symbol","469769242":[8226],"469777803":"left","469777804":"","469777815":"hybridMultilevel"}" aria-setsize="-1" data-aria-posinset="1" data-aria-level="1"> <a class= "Hyperlink HyperlinkGateOff SCXW189921647 BCX0" href= "https://johnbrittpottery.com/" target="_blank" rel= "noreferrer noopener">John Britt Pottery</a>  </li> </ul> <ul class="BulletListStyle1 SCXW189921647 BCX0" role="list"> <li class="OutlineElement Ltr SCXW189921647 BCX0" role="listitem" data-leveltext="" data-font="Symbol" data-listid="2" data-list-defn-props= "{"335552541":1,"335559685":720,"335559991":360,"469769226":"Symbol","469769242":[8226],"469777803":"left","469777804":"","469777815":"hybridMultilevel"}" aria-setsize="-1" data-aria-posinset="2" data-aria-level="1"> <a class= "Hyperlink HyperlinkGateOff SCXW189921647 BCX0" href= "https://akirasatake.com/" target="_blank" rel= "noreferrer noopener">akira satake ceramics</a> | <a class= "Hyperlink HyperlinkGateOff SCXW189921647 BCX0" href= "https://www.gofundme.com/f/support-akira-satakes-recovery-after-hurricane" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">GoFundMe</a>  </li> </ul> <ul class="BulletListStyle1 SCXW189921647 BCX0" role="list"> <li class="OutlineElement Ltr SCXW189921647 BCX0" role="listitem" data-leveltext="" data-font="Symbol" data-listid="2" data-list-defn-props= "{"335552541":1,"335559685":720,"335559991":360,"469769226":"Symbol","469769242":[8226],"469777803":"left","469777804":"","469777815":"hybridMultilevel"}" aria-setsize="-1" data-aria-posinset="3" data-aria-level="1"> <a class= "Hyperlink HyperlinkGateOff SCXW189921647 BCX0" href= "https://mudtools.com/" target="_blank" rel= "noreferrer noopener">Mudtools</a>  </li> </ul> <ul class="BulletListStyle1 SCXW189921647 BCX0" role="list"> <li class="OutlineElement Ltr SCXW189921647 BCX0" role="listitem" data-leveltext="" data-font="Symbol" data-listid="2" data-list-defn-props= "{"335552541":1,"335559685":720,"335559991":360,"469769226":"Symbol","469769242":[8226],"469777803":"left","469777804":"","469777815":"hybridMultilevel"}" aria-setsize="-1" data-aria-posinset="4" data-aria-level="1"> <a class= "Hyperlink HyperlinkGateOff SCXW189921647 BCX0" href= "https://www.eastfork.com/products/donation" target="_blank" rel= "noreferrer noopener">East Fork</a>  </li> </ul>   <a class= "Hyperlink HyperlinkGateOff SCXW189921647 BCX0" href= "https://www.linkedin.com/in/refikanadol/" target="_blank" rel= "noreferrer noopener">Refik Anadol Studio</a> | <a class= "Hyperlink HyperlinkGateOff SCXW189921647 BCX0" href= "https://refikanadol.com/" target="_blank" rel= "noreferrer noopener">Refik Anadol Living Art</a>  <a class= "Hyperlink HyperlinkGateOff SCXW189921647 BCX0" href= "https://news.microsoft.com/exec/kevin-scott/" target="_blank" rel= "noreferrer noopener">Kevin Scott</a>    <a class= "Hyperlink HyperlinkGateOff SCXW189921647 BCX0" href= "https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/behind-the-tech" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Behind the Tech with Kevin Scott</a>    Discover and listen to other <a class= "Hyperlink HyperlinkGateOff SCXW189921647 BCX0" href= "https://news.microsoft.com/podcasts/" target="_blank" rel= "noreferrer noopener">Microsoft podcasts</a>.
