TÜRK ASKERİ ve kaskında ASELSAN CENKER

Yüksek otomasyon kriterleri ile tasarlanmış, modern ve giyilebilir bir teknoloji olan CENKER, tek er seviyesinden bölük seviyesine kadar 3 boyutlu arazi analizi, haberleşme, istihbarat paylaşma, keşif ve hedef tespit gibi pek çok olanak sunarken İHA’larla da entegre çalışarak bilgi üstünlüğü ve taktik avantaj sağlayan bir teknoloji.

ASELSAN’ın 50. Yılına özel gerçekleştirdiğimiz projede, biomimikriden ilham alınarak geliştirilen teknolojilere, ‘İleriye Dönüşen Bir Gelecek’ vizyonu ile firmanın üretim atıklarını kullanarak sanat ile farklı bir alanda hayat verdik. Milli duygularla kurulup global arenada gurur haline gelen 50 yıllık bir kültürün projemizde sanat ile buluşması, Ulu Önder Mustafa Kemal Atatürk’ün vizyonunu ve değerli sözlerini en içten duygularla hatırlatıyor.

“Şunu da ehemmiyetle tebarüz ettirmeliyim ki, yüksek bir insan cemiyeti olan Türk milletinin tarihî bir vasfı da, güzel sanatları sevmek ve onda yükselmektir. Bunun içindir ki, milletimizin yüksek karakterini, yorulmaz çalışkanlığını, fıtrî zekâsını, ilme bağlılığını, güzel sanatlara sevgisini, millî birlik duygusunu mütemadiyen ve her türlü vasıta ve tedbirlerle besleyerek inkişaf ettirmek millî ülkümüzdür.” Gazi M. Kemal Atatürk

Michel Torres Costa is known for his distinctive ability to create works that are both clean and meticulously precise. In this piece, he challenged himself by committing almost entirely to a single material: the spoon. With only minimal use of cut metal sheets, he introduced a sense of lift and movement, allowing the eagle’s feathers to appear as though they are suspended in flight. Costa’s disciplined material selection highlights not only his technical refinement but also his capacity to evoke dynamism through simplicity.

Julian Provenzano’s work is defined by a distinctive sense of movement that runs through each of his sculptures. In addition to repurposed scrap materials, he incorporates newly laser-cut metal sheets whenever the form calls for greater precision or structural clarity. One of the most unique aspects of his practice is his consistent use of phrases or song lyrics—elements that both encapsulate the meaning of the work and reflect his own personality. Creating sculptures across the globe, Provenzano leaves behind enduring stories, transforming each piece into a narrative that continues to resonate long after its installation.

Every scrap artist develops a technique that is uniquely their own. Some distinguish themselves through their welding skill, others through their meticulous selection of materials, and still others through the intuitive artistry they bring to their practice.

Matt Sloane stands apart through the symmetry he achieves in every detail of his work. In his sculpture Teo Seagulls, the varied use of materials immediately captures the viewer’s attention. Sloane highlights the character of discarded objects by layering shapes and textures, elevating each scrap piece from a simple remnant to an essential element of the artwork’s visual language.

His approach reflects a practice that both respects the material’s past life and transforms it into something newly expressive.

Every scrap artist has a unique technique. Some excel in welding, some in the selection of materials, and others in the artistic intuition they bring to their craft.

Alan Williams’s signature technique involves melting iron and shaping it entirely by hand, using traditional forging methods.

In his nearly four-meter Marlin sculpture, the mastery of this approach is visible not only in the elegant curvature of the form but also in the finely articulated surface textures, each bearing the mark of meticulous hand-forged detail.
