Electronic Crossovers
Fulya Uçanok

Pera Museum’s new talk and performance series invites you to explore the fields that interact with electronic music!

A fruit of collaboration with Istanbul-based musical collective ÆVOM, “Electronic Crossovers” looks at a range of fields and disciplines that feed on and interact with electronic music, technology, literature, cinema, environment, psychology, sociology, computer games, politics, urban transformation, nature and philosophy to name a few.

Opened by Assoc. Prof. İlke Boran with a talk on the birth of electronic music, the series will continue with a DJ performance by Fulya Uçanok, reflecting her interpretation of the theme.

The performance will take place at Pera Café. Free admission; drop in. No reservation, limited seats.
