A solo exhibition by Kaybid, featuring paintings that hum their own songs, invites you to listen, feel, and maybe even dance.
Volta is more than a street art exhibition — it’s a reflection of Kaybid’s multifaceted creative practice. Visitors will experience a blend of collage, animation, and AI-generated music, as Kaybid moves between roles: street artist, record label owner, and songwriter.
Kaybid:
“Volta is also a musical term, used to mark alternate endings in repeated sections of a piece. For example, the first time it’s played, you hear the ‘first volta,’ and on the next repeat, the ‘second volta.’ It means the same section ends differently each time — just like the mental loops I walk while wandering the city streets. Always starting in the same place, always ending with a different story.”
Proudly presented by Kaybid Records
For this exhibition, Kaybid Records focuses on music created in collaboration with AI, inspired by the artworks on view. The aim is to explore experimental, forward-thinking sounds — and open a dialogue around creativity between human and machine.

“Street Fight”
by No More Lies & Basta
May 22, 2025, Event
One of Oktowallz’s main goals is to organize events that celebrate all aspects of street culture. Our event titled “Street Fight” will feature a creative face-off between Istanbul’s beloved street food brand Basta and street artist No More Lies.
As the chefs from Basta serve themed street food creations, No More Lies will be painting live — giving the audience a chance to taste, watch, and join the conversation with both the chefs and the artist.
