Ilker Cihan Biner was born in 1984 in Iskenderun. He graduated from the Eastern Mediterranean University Faculty of Law. His participation in the workshops of thinkers such as Giorgio Agamben and Antonio Negri in Italy was a turning point in his life. As a matter of fact, after a short experience as a lawyer, he turned to being an art critic and a writer. He wrote articles on contemporary politics and art in Agos and Bianet. He also wrote art articles for Istanbul Art News for about 5 years. He has been writing a column called "Kıvrım" in Art Unlimited for 6 years. He also writes exhibition reviews on Art Unlimited's website. While he writes literary reviews in Gazeteduvar and k24, he occasionally writes on fashion and culture in Vogue Turkey. Finally, he started to write articles on Nft and digital art on the platform called Nftify Turkey.
