Beyza Dilem Topdal is an interdisciplinary designer, artist, and researcher based in Istanbul. Holding a BFA in Industrial Product Design, she completed her MFA in Design and Technology at Parsons The New School (2017). The artist is now continuing her research as a Ph.D. candidate in Design, Technology and Society program at Özyeğin University, where she is also a part-time teaching assistant for Principles of Design course at the Industrial Design department.

Her research revolves around human and non-human entanglements within the STS studies. Cyborg theories and multi-species ethnography are the core literature of her thinking. While rethinking and abstracting concepts like survival, resurgence, borders and wilderness; her works create space for social critique and world-making practices. Playing with her academic research in the speculative design and new media art context gives freedom to explore alternative knowledge production ways. In her artworks, she is using both traditional and cutting edge ways to create storytelling pieces. She has experimented with different mediums and technologies such as video, projection mapping, VR, sculpture, printed materials, and interactive media. Encounters of flora, fauna, objects, and society are constantly revisited in her pieces in a poetic manner.
