I am going to the Moon, and I invite you to join my journey! 👇
55 years ago, humankind landed on the Moon for the first time! Yesterday, this historic journey started again.
A Giant Leap is a mnemonic data sculpture computationally generated from #NeilArmstrong's iconic words "It's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind!"
This project is a journey. The first step will be a #ticket to the #moon. Follow me for the updates
Who am I? I am Efe Alpay, a.k.a @dr3fula and I transform memories into tangible artifacts.
Last month, this project was in a private show of mine at @CerModern Arts Center. For more info about the process and me: https://t.co/T3mQq5v2WM

Before the end of 2023, I finally premiered my upcoming #NFT project, A Giant Leap, at Cer Modern Arts Center. This video is from an immersive presentation I made there, explaining my process on my #audiovisual, tangible explorations using #computationaldesign#generativedesign and #dataphysicalization.
This question bothered me for quite a long time: "What if it were possible to create a brand new artifact from our memories?"
Ten years, to be exact :)
I am very pleased and excited to be able to start sharing my experience throughout this journey, which was also fueled by my previous presentations at @Falling_Walls 2017 in Berlin. These findings are from my "Sound Data as Design Material" PhD in METU Department of Industrial Design (@METU_ODTU), which I will further my studies in my Assistant Professor role at Bilkent University (@BilkentUniv) Department of Graphic Design.
I am pursuing this journey at the intersection of #design, #art, #science, and #technology. I am pleased to connect with like-minded and curious individuals from all disciplines. If you are kind enough to help me, comments and sharing would be great.

My “Giant Leap” mnemonic data sculpture sneak peak from @ArtBasel@solana Artist in Residence showcase!!! 🤯 Thank you @rendernetwork for your support and this great opportunity🙏🤘
Highlights from the @ArtBasel@solana Artist in Residence showcase: @dr3fula’s stunning immersive blockchain-native art blending sci-fi futurism, digital sculpture, and on-chain creativity.
Tomorrow @JulesUrbach kicks off #RenderCon with @AriEmanuel to share frontier neural rendering tech, built and tested on productions — rolling out to artists soon. 😏
🧵On February 6, 2023, a devastating earthquake struck Türkiye, leaving behind immense loss and destruction. Today, two years later, we remember—and we act.
Call for Life** is an NFT artwork that turns a powerful moment from the earthquake into a lasting memory. ⬇️
---
In the aftermath of the earthquake, rescue teams searched tirelessly for survivors. One of the most haunting moments was when a rescuer called out:
"Can anyone hear my voice?"
That plea, full of hope and desperation, became the foundation of this artwork.
I transformed that sound—real data from a rescue operation—into a **3D physical form** using computational design. This process turned an ephemeral moment into a tangible memory: a "Mnemonic Data Sculpture"
It’s not just art. It’s a way to "preserve memory" and support those still in need.
It's a **symbol of resilience, remembrance, and aid.
🛠️ 100% of the proceeds go toward ongoing relief efforts, helping earthquake survivors rebuild their lives.
Your support turns memory into action.
---
By collecting *Call for Life*, you help keep this moment alive—ensuring it's not lost in time, like so many tragedies before.
Own a piece of history. Support those in need. Keep the memory alive.

İki yıl geçti. Ama unutmak, kaybolmak demek. Bazı şeyler unutulmamalı.
Enkaz başında yankılanan “Sesimi duyan var mı?” çağrısını alıp 3 boyutlu bir esere dönüştürdüm.
Unutulmasın diye.

Two years have passed. But forgetting means losing. Some things must not be forgotten.
I turned the haunting words—"Can anyone hear my voice?"—from a rescue scene into a 3D physical object.
A memory that won’t fade.
