Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAlp Tuğan is a creative coder, educator, and PhD researcher blending sociotechnology, generative art, and sonic arts into interactive audiovisual experiences. With 12+ years teaching creative coding and sound design at Özyeğin University and adjunct roles at Sabancı, he translates research-led practice into classroom projects and public work. As co-founder of Filika Tasarim and the live-coding duo RAW, he builds tangible interfaces, generative systems, and performative software that foreground hardware hacking and emergent computation. His background in geophysics and visual communication informs a unique approach: mathematical models and microscopic natural phenomena often seed his artistic systems. Alp’s practice-driven research emphasizes hybrid sensory encounters where sound synthesis and material collection become generative input sources. He is based in Istanbul and balances academic rigor with hands-on craft, carpentry, and live performance.
