An Istanbul sound artist’s portfolio of field recordings, live electronics, moving image, spatial performances, and releases made as Fosil.

Why it surfaced

The portfolio treats sound as evidence of labour, social relations, and memory, documenting six projects from craft archives to performances inside a former gasworks. Its work pages foreground context, process, and credits rather than presenting music as a bare playlist.

Monica’s Calendar of Flowers

August 17’s newborn domains include a calendar that spreads flowers for Monica across the months after JP’s death, 17 years of a master mariner’s logbooks, the seconds between a modem connection and the first web request, and an Indian bus cabin carrying 632 songs.

This is one of 1,000 discoveries in the 2026-08-17 Domain Arrivals issue.
