The 2023 Academy Awards are just around the corner. Hollywood is currently casting votes for Tinseltown's event of the year. Let's tap into the Oscar buzz and take a look at some of the contenders.

Internationally renowned Turkish media artist Refik Anadol has used his latest 'data art' installation to highlight one of biggest problems facing the world: Climate change. While he has plenty of fans of 'Artificial Realities: Coral', it also got people talking about the issues. But not everyone likes it. Our producer Zeynep Gokce has more.

Istanbul has outstanding landmarks, from its famous bridges to its towers. And its newest spot is not only huge physically, but also has a significant social, cultural and even environmental impact. Our reporter Esra Durust went to see the transformation of a place with two hundred fifty years of history.

It's no secret that Istanbul is one of the most beautiful cities in the world. And naturally people tend to snap lots of photographs of the city. But some artists have zoomed in closer to uncover some hidden details. Our producer Esra Durust explains.

As the art world has been struggling to adapt to the unstoppable rise of crypto art, NFTs now have their own biennial at Istanbul`s Zorlu Performance Arts Center. It aims to strengthen the bond between two worlds. We caught up with both the curator and the director of the biennial to ask them about their motivation.
