In the case of E-culture we do not describe actual venues as well as the main State and Independent organizations or sites.

State

Ministry of Transportation is the responsible state department for telecommunication and internet as well. RTÜK is the organization that applies the censorship for TV and radio. They now want to be the authority for censorship on the Internet.

Nerdworking is a loosely connected network of people who work together on digital art and design projects. Their most recent work Yekpare is a public projection of digital images on the Haydarpaşa Train Station historical building. They project the building’s architectural features on the building itself and play with it.
