LED sculpture by merging student and academic data from Yıldız Technical University with NASA's open-source star data, where each star represents both a student and a real celestial star. The inception of this art installation is an ode to the profound mysteries that both the universe and the human psyche hold. Like the vast cosmos with its innumerable stars, nebulae, and galaxies, each brimming with stories untold and phenomena undiscovered, the human mind is a limitless expanse of thoughts, ideas, and potential.
The very name "Yıldız," which translates to "star," poetically intertwines these two vast realms, beckoning viewers to contemplate the majesty of the skies above and the depth of intellect within. The tapestry of NASA's open-source star data woven into this piece is a tribute to mankind's eternal quest for knowledge and understanding. It mirrors our insatiable curiosity, as we peer into the cosmos, yearning to decode its secrets, much like the inquisitive mind of a student relentlessly pursuing enlightenment. This artwork stands as a testament to the parallel wonders of the cosmic realm and human cognition, challenging the beholder to question, dream, and explore beyond what meets the eye.
