Missions and objectives

BIS is an Istanbul based initiative that aims to explore artistic forms of expression at the conjunction of the body and the digital process. BIS aims to create an international discussion and production platform in its local on the conjunction of art and technology.
The concept of body-process refers to the inevitable relation between the modern human and technological processes and tools. Starting from the observation that new technologies increasingly manage practical and critical aspects of our lives such as communication, health and security, this concept orients itself to think about the fluid boundaries between body and technology and the consequences of their interaction.

Main Activities

amberFestival, ambernetworkfestival (ambernetworkfestival.org), education, exhibitions, production. BIS also runs many EU supported, multi-partner projects in the junction of art, technology and society.
