Backtopoints
Backtopoints is an Istanbul-based artist duo formed by brothers Tuna and Zafer Topaloğlu. Zafer’s background spans Cinema, New Media Arts, and Computational Arts, while Tuna trained in Computer Programming, a combination that shapes the duo’s practice at the intersection of creative technology and contemporary art. Working primarily with 3D animation, simulation, and creative coding, Backtopoints produces still images, loop-based animations, and data visualisation works within the broader field of computational and new media art. Rather than adhering to a single subject, theme, or methodology, the duo develops conceptual and formal approaches that respond to the specific requirements of each project. With the emergence of NFTs, Backtopoints became highly active within the NFT space, releasing and selling both individual works and larger collections across major platforms, including Foundation and Nifty Gateway. Their works have been exhibited through a range of venues and platforms in both Turkey and internationally.
