Born critical, born curious: Barış Parlan. Grew up with his first computer, learned to speak in code before he learned to speak to people. Then he refused to plug into systems without questioning them — resigned from banks, from academia, from fixed identity. Now he works at the intersection of blockchain, AI, and open-source tools as a VJ, DJ, and digital storyteller. Producing globally, building collective intelligence tools, and dancing in the forests.
