Yağmur Uçkunkaya works with AI, art, and sound to investigate their intersections and implications. She completed her studies in Medieninformatik at TU Berlin and FU Berlin. During and after her studies, she worked at a creative AI agency, contributing to projects that integrated AI technologies into artistic practices. Currently, she is pursuing a Master's degree in Design and Computation at UdK Berlin and TU Berlin. Her recent projects focus on creating intimate multimedia works that critically explore the role of AI tools in shaping personal experiences and societal narratives. Her recent work has been featured at the Ars Electronica Festival and Frankfurt Biennale.

In addition to her academic and artistic explorations, Yağmur is also known under the moniker “rayne." As rayne, she is embedded in the electronic music scenes both in Berlin and internationally, with residencies at Istanbul's Root Radio, Berlin/Belgrade's D59B, and Berlin's Cashmere Radio. Her mixes blend acoustic and electronic elements, often incorporating hints of Anatolian influences. She explores music that integrates current technologies while reflecting and playing with nostalgic tendencies in electronic dance music.
