My name is Şebnem Köken and I’m a software engineer with a passion for creativity and innovation. I enjoy developing solutions for various domains and challenges. I’m also a photographer who loves to capture the beauty of nature, people and places. I have traveled to many places and documented my experiences through my lens. I have made several documentaries on topics such as social issues, culture as a documentary filmmaker to tell stories that matter. I’m also an AI artist who uses artificial intelligence to generate amazing and original artworks. I use different tools and techniques to create digital art that reflects my vision and style. On this site, I share my journey, insights and tips on software engineering, photography, AI art, documentary filmmaking and NFTs.

Ulupamir (meaning Great Pamir) is a village in Turkey of mostly Kyrgyz Turks who came from the Great Pamir and Little Pamir in the Wakhan, northern Afghanistan, in 1982. Pamir Turks first fled to Pakistan but they did not adjust well to the hot Pakistani climate and lost lives. With the invitation from Turkey they moved to a land near Van Erciş. This is a photo reportage about a culture on the verge of change.
AiArtADay Collection
AIArtADay is a collection of unique and stunning digital artworks created with the help of artificial intelligence algorithms. The collection showcases the creative potential of AI and the artistic vision of the creator. The collection features different AI techniques, such as VQGAN + CLIP, CLIP-Guided Diffusion, and Stable Diffusion, to generate realistic, abstract, or surreal images that capture the imagination. The collection is constantly growing, with a new work of art added every day. AIArtADay is a celebration of the fusion of human and machine intelligence, and a testament to the beauty and diversity of AI-generated art.
