During the 5th edition of the ArtTech Forum – in Istanbul and online – organized in collaboration with Sabanci University, incredible projects was presented.

Art and culture will be deeply transformed from now on, and the possibilities are probably endless. Creating an eco-system to explore where is technological innovation heading in the arts and how can start-ups get involved are the big questions that ArtTech was founded to answer.
