TELECITY / NOMAD-TV.NETWORK

TELECITY

If the basis of a living being is the information that makes up its DNA then culture and society too are
just huge centers of information, therefore cities reflect the society inside it.

The exhibition reflects on the city as a catalyst for creating complex visions and stories about today’s heterogeneous status quo. It investigates and explores the “big city” life through crowds, overloaded visual and aural aggression, confusion, dislocation, speed, transgression and hidden beauties.

The exhibition is part of the NOMAD-TV.NETWORK project that aims to both observe and also establish links in the network that facilitates local digital culture of Turkey. Digital minded communities, artists, musicians, architects, designers, engineers, cultural producers, magazines, initiatives, organizations, and parallel entities in Turkey contributed to make the network visible for the first time, in the first of a series of iterations in this ever-growing project.
