His exhibition at Art Basel further solidified his growing prominence in the art world, following his Lumen Prize shortlist.

RenderCon\u2019s focus on decentralized rendering and real-time technologies aligned with Alpay\u2019s ongoing research into the intersection of data, computation and generative art.These exhibitions highlighted Alpay\u2019s innovative use of sound and emerging digital tools to explore themes of memory, data and temporality.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Asst.
