After party
Batuhan is a trailblazing digital artist and creator of Cyber Mushroom, a cutting-edge VR experience that simulates the psychedelic journey of a mushroom trip. Fusing art, tech, and consciousness, he trains custom AI models on real trip reports, allowing the AI to generate hyper-surreal visuals based on authentic experiences. These mind-altering visuals are then projected across stages and venues, transforming spaces into fully immersive, otherworldly portals. At the BC 24 after party, his work lit up the entire room—literally—leaving a lasting impression. He has spoken and showcased his artwork at renowned festivals like Glastonbury, Equinox, Boom Festival (Portugal), Ozora, and many more—pushing the boundaries of what’s possible when AI, art, and altered states collide.
