Creative coding, algorithmic production, artificial intelligence, interactive systems, sound, and audiovisual performances are among the primary areas of his work.

Artut’s works and performances have been presented to audiences at international exhibitions, festivals, and art platforms such as Shenyang, Kanvas UAE, Expo Osaka, Sonar Istanbul, ISEA, AKM Istanbul, SIGGRAPH, Dystopie Sound Art Festival Berlin, Moving Image New York, Art London, ICA London, Art Hong Kong, Hope Alkazar, and the Istanbul Biennial. His work has been featured in various international publications and platforms, including MIT Leonardo, Artsy, Creative Applications, Co.Design, Visual Complexity, and CNN GO.

As part of his research on art, technology, and creative research, he has delivered lectures, given presentations, and conducted workshops at various international institutions, including the Tisch School of the Arts ITP, Berlin University of the Arts, EPFL, and the University of Cambridge. Throughout his career, he has traveled to more than forty countries across six continents, participating in production environments bridging different cultures and disciplines through exhibitions, performances, conferences, and collaborative research.

Artut, who holds a Ph.D. in Media and Communication from the European Graduate School, explores the relationship between art and technology through both artistic production and critical and academic research. As an author and editor of books on art, technology, creative coding, and the preservation of technological art, Artut’s publications include Teoman Madra - Bende Sistem Yok, Datareality, Geometric Patterns with Creative Coding, and Technological Arts Preservation.

He serves as a professor in the Visual Arts and Visual Communication Design Program at Sabancı University, where he teaches courses on artificial intelligence and creativity, creative coding, physical interaction, computational art, and media art.

In his artistic research, the relationship between cultural heritage and computational production methods plays a significant role. Through his ongoing work on geometric patterns, algorithmic systems, and generative art, he explores how historical visual culture can be reinterpreted through contemporary technologies. Additionally, through projects focused on archives, media archaeology, and the preservation of technological art, he focuses on the memory of digital and technological culture.

Artut is also a musician. Since 1998, he has been a member of Replikas, one of the pioneering groups in Turkey’s experimental music scene. As part of the duo RAW, which he founded with Alp Tugan in 2016, he produces audiovisual performances that establish real-time, algorithmic relationships between sound and image using creative coding and live coding techniques.

Selçuk Artut’s work approaches art not merely as an application of technology, but as a method of thinking and creating alongside technology. His artistic and academic practice continues to explore the evolving relationships between humans, machines, cultural memory, and computational systems.
