Goker

I’m Goker — a computer engineer and graphic designer. I’m currently working on my PhD in computer engineering, with a strong focus on artificial intelligence and deep learning.

Graphic design has never been just a profession to me. It has always been a way of understanding why some designs — especially in digital spaces — feel more intuitive, functional, and compelling than others.

I’ve been drawing since I could hold a pencil. But over time, I realized it wasn’t drawing itself that captivated me — it was what it meant.

For me, art is not merely an expression, it’s a relationship.

A work of art always carries two narratives:

• The one told by the creator,
• And the one formed by the viewer’s own emotional connection to it.

“Art is not about itself but the attention we bring to it.”

— Marcel Duchamp

That’s why I’m less interested in individual artists or styles, and more intrigued by the historical evolution of art itself. Wherever human attention has gathered, art has shifted — not just in form, but in the stories it tells.

Where AI Meets Art

Today, thanks to AI, we can create in a technique without spending years mastering it. In a way, AI has unshackled artistic production from time.

More importantly, it has freed us from the limits of our own memory. Once, we could only draw from what we had seen, learned, or experienced. Now, we can access the echoes of thousands of years of creative output — all at once.

And that’s where the idea of echo begins. Every new work is not made in isolation — it carries the resonance of countless works before it.

In the past, those echoes were limited to a single artist’s memory. Now, they are nearly infinite.
