About Borusan Contemporary

This forward-thinking institution has carved out a unique niche in the city's cultural landscape, focusing on the intersection of technology and creativity. The museum's collection boasts over 800 works, showcasing a diverse array of digital media artworks that push the boundaries of traditional artistic expression. Visitors to Borusan Contemporary are treated to an ever-evolving tapestry of exhibitions and events that challenge perceptions and ignite imagination. The museum's commitment to fostering new talent is evident in its commissioning program, which supports artists in creating site-specific installations that dialogue with the building's striking architecture and its prime location overlooking the strait. What sets Borusan apart is its dedication to new media art in its broadest sense, encompassing video art, installations, and works that harness the power of sound, light, and software.
