INTERACTIVE EXPERIENCES
CREATIVE TECHNOLOGIST
Ideas become spaces. Spaces become experiences.
Ideas become spaces. Spaces become experiences.
I’m Gökalp Çakmak, a Berlin-based creative technologist with a background in architecture and new media design. I connect spatial thinking, real-time systems and hands-on production to create experiences with light, movement and sound.

Technical drawings & planning
Technical drawings & planning
I translate spatial ideas into buildable plans: CAD drawings, layout studies, signal diagrams and 3D previsualization that connect the creative concept to the installation.

Live interactive experiences
Live interactive experiences
I develop environments that respond to sound, movement and people. TouchDesigner, motion capture and sensor workflows turn an installation into a real-time dialogue with its audience.
