Public Talk and Sound Peformance: Poems from Descriptive Noise
"Public Program", Berkay Tuncay, Rangga Purnama Aji, Sound Performance
Thursday, 16 July 2026
16.00 WIB
Poems from Descriptive Noise is an artist talk on Berkay Tuncay’s works around found poetry, digital culture, artist books, and internet language. The talk looks at how the internet and social media affect language, attention, and everyday life, and how language found online moves between different forms, audiences, and contexts. Moving through his earlier publications, the talk focuses on Poems from Descriptive Noise, a publication developed during Tuncay’s time at the Jan van Eyck Academie in Maastricht, where closed captions become poetic material and the starting point for a collaboration with Rangga Purnama Aji.
The event ends with a live sound performance by Rangga, presenting a new piece developed with Berkay. The performance reimagines the publication through sound, opening it to a new interpretation.
