Dolunay is an electrical engineer and sound artist. Her practice is shaped by the instrumentalization of technical tools; motors, inductor microphones, hydrophones, and sensors are reimagined as central subjects. She constructs unstable, responsive environments - often driven by feedback and proximity where listening becomes a site of negotiation between human intention, material resistance, and machine logic. Her recent research engages with goblinhood and sonic cyborgism as modes of undoing coherence: embracing noise, excess, and misalignment in sound. She studied Electronics Engineering at Boğaziçi University. She is currently pursuing a master’s degree in Music at the Istanbul Technical University’s Centre for Advanced Studies in Music, and will begin her MFA in Sound Art at Columbia University School of the Arts in Fall 2026. Her work has been presented at Arter Museum, Istanbul (2025); PdMaxCon25~, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (2025); and Harvestworks, New York (2025). She is currently in residency at Cité Internationale des Arts, Paris.
