RGBdog Presents: Volumetric Interviews introduces creatives based in The Netherlands working at the intersection of music, visual arts and technology, who are focused on developing supportive communities all over the world. The series aims to raise awareness of the creative possibilities of technology and to invite audiences in joining the ongoing broader debate about its benefits and pitfalls.
Seeking to push the boundaries of the disciplines of photography, design, and autonomous arts, Volumetric Interviews resorts to a combination of traditional filmmaking and volumetric image capturing techniques! With this experimentation, the series invites the audience to the virtual world where the story takes place.

Her artistic practice mainly focuses on creating narratives and worlds that mirror the 'unpretty' parts of society and transcoding them into diverse visual languages with humor and quirkiness.

Berk Özdemir
Berk Özdemir, the sound designer of Volumetric Interviews, enjoys challenging the process of sound production by experimenting with unique sound sources from web browsers, and resorting to artificial intelligence and generative audio production. Incorporating sounds often inspired by video games, his work brings together many different digital discourses as a challenge to the concept of ownership in the music industry. Cheeky and playful, Berk’s exhibitions and concerts typically take place in virtual spaces, such as Minecraft and Metaverse.
