PİLOT Gallery is pleased to announce Degrees of Freedom, Ali Miharbi's third solo exhibition at its gallery space, to be held between September 10 and October 22, 2022. Employing various tools and site-specific installations, Degrees of Freedom invites the audience to observe and experience the intricate potentials of the environment in which people exist, by exploring the possibility space for physical and mental acts.
The term "degrees of freedom," which is frequently used in control theory, refers to the variety of possible motions in a system. Examining freedom in the context of organisms and their environment as a system, Daniel Dennett compares people’s level of physical and intellectual freedom to the constraints on the decisions they can make. At one point, he emphasizes how vast the human mental potential is, despite the limited number of possible physical movements. Degrees of Freedom by Ali Miharbi, thus, is an exhibition of the area between these two parallel lines.
