Osman Akan was born on the Black Sea coast of Turkey. He has lived and worked in the United States since 1995. Trained as a new media artist, Akan has been producing audio and video installations since 1999. In 2002, he started making prints of 3D modeled “virtual” sculptures. His growing interest in the tangibility of sculptural works in relation to virtual landscapes led to working with optical fibers in 2005. He installed his first fiber optics work in 2006 in Franconia Sculpture Park. In 2007, Akan received a NYSCA Individual Artist’s Grant to enable the realization of  “The Third Bridge,” sponsored by Dumbo Arts Center. Until recently, Akan maintained a studio in Dumbo. A professor of advanced computer graphics, Akan lives in Brooklyn, New York.
